1/2 small squash (about 300g) peeled and cut into small chunks

It’s cheaper to buy chicken breast with the skin on. To remove the skin hold one end firmly with paper towel and pull off sharply.

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Fan 180°C/Gas Mark 6
Take the chicken breasts and wrap two slices of prosciutto around each one and place in a small baking tray. Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins until cooked through.
Toss the squash in the oil and spread in a small baking tray. Place in the oven alongside the chicken and cook for about 10 mins until just tender. Remove and put to one side.
To make the risotto melt half the butter in a heavy based frying pan. Add the rice and cook over a gentle heat for a minute, stirring all the time. Gradually ladle in the hot stock a little at a time, stirring continuously.
After about 15 mins, when the rice is just tender, stir in the cooked squash. Carry on adding the hot stock until the rice is creamy. Stir in the remaining butter, parsley and parmesan.
Spoon the risotto onto warm plates and scatter over the rocket. Top with the chicken and serve.

Chicken and Olives – Shaken and Stirred

As I mention in the video, I’ve done almost 1,000 videos, and yet can’t remember ever featuring chicken and olives in one before. Considering how brilliant a combination they are, this is nothing short of astounding. I think there are a few in our famous arroz con pollo recipe, but as far as full co-star billing, this is the first time.

Hopefully, it was worth the wait. For that to be the case, you should probably really like, if not love, olives. Their sharp, briny bite is the dominant flavor here, which is why it pairs so well with chicken breast. This one of those dishes where if you tasted the chicken and sauce separately, you probably wouldn’t be very impressed, but together – magic.

Any pitted olives will work, but the Kalamata and Castelvetrano varieties are highly recommended. Luckily, most every large grocery now has an olive bar somewhere, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding them. Speaking of finding products, you may actually have a harder time locating the Herbs De Provence.

We haven’t used this Mediterranean dried-herb blend in a while, and if you can find it, it’s worth picking up a bottle. Trust me, you’ll use the rest this grilling season. If you can’t find any, you can always make your own, and I’ve listed the ingredients below. Anyway, if you’ve been looking for a new chicken recipe, especially one with olives in it, then I hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts

salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste

2 tsp Herbs De Provence (the brand I used contained dried chervil, basil, rosemary, tarragon, garlic, lavender, marjoram, savory, thyme, and parsley)

2 tbsp olive oil

1/4 cup sliced shallots

1 cup sliced olives

1 cup chicken broth

1 lemon, juiced

2 tbsp reserved Kalamata olive brine

1/2 tsp cumin

zest from one lemon

2 tbsp Italian parsley

2 tbsp cold butter, cut in 4 pieces

Chicken and Lentil Soup

This delicious, hearty lentil soup made with chicken, cilantro, cumin and spices is perfect for warming your belly on those cold winter nights. What’s more, it’s easy to make, economical and very satisfying.

I was in the mood for this last night so I thought it would be
a great time to update the photos. I’ve slightly modified the original
recipe which I posted back in 2009, but the results are just as good.

I’ve been making this soup for years, my family loves it – including my four year old (to my surprise)! It makes a big pot which means plenty of leftovers for lunch. It freezes well and can be reheated with a little water if it gets too thick.

Lentils were actually the first legumes I liked as a kid. My mom would me a similar soup with carrots and celery and since I was picky – she usually pureed mine. I love preparing them because they cook so much quicker than dried beans, and a small amount goes a long way. They are high in protein, Vitamin B, folate and soluble fiber and have twice as much iron as other legumes. You can easily cut this recipe in half or freeze left-overs for lunch which is what I like to do. Chicken breast would work in place of thighs if you prefer white meat. Ground annato (also known as achiote) is commonly used in Latin
cuisine, it’s used mostly to add color and adds a subtle flavor, but if
you can’t find it paprika would work instead.
