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.
