Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts filleted
  • 4 slices Italia cotto ham
  • 4 slices fontina or emmental cheese
  • salt and pepper
  • dry or fresh sage
  • 2 tbsp Belmorso Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Equipment

  • 1 baking dish
  • kitchen foil

Method
 

  1. Cover your baking dish with kitchen foil, and layer the chicken breast fillets on top.
  2. Season with salt and pepper, and bake for 15 minutes, in a slightly pre-heated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Preheating it for 5 minutes is all you need.
  3. Take the chicken breast out of the oven, drain any liquid and turn the chicken fillets on the other side.
  4. Top each chicken breast fillet with 2 slices cotto ham and 2 slices emmental cheese.
  5. Sprinkle plenty of sage and bake for another 10 minutes.
  6. Take it out of the oven and serve with your favourite side dish.
  7. For extra Italian flavour, we suggest plating the chicken fillets in a plate drizzled with Belmorso EVOO.
  8. And here's the final result plated.
