Herb Marinated Chicken Breast with Prosciutto and White Bean Salad
Sunday, 1 June 2008
Aside from being healthy, this is a great entertaining dish. Unlike many dishes that deteriorate from being prepped too early, this recipe benefits from it.
Aside from being healthy, this is a great entertaining dish. Unlike
many dishes that deteriorate from being prepped too early, this recipe
benefits from it. The beans need to be soaked for at least 24 hours and
the herbs will permeate the chicken better if marinated longer rather
than shorter. In addition doing all the work so far in advance will
once again leave you more time to entertain . Bon apatite.
