potatoes
1 bunch
sage
1 bunch
asparagus
1 bag
green beans
1 clove
garlic
1 packet
macadamias
(Contains Macadamia; May be present: Milk, Peanut, Sesame, Soy, Cashew, Pistachio, Almond, Walnut. )
1 tsp
truffle oil
1 packet
grated Parmesan cheese
(Contains Milk;)
1 packet
chicken breast
1 packet
prosciutto
½ unit
lemon
olive oil
40 g
butter
(Contains Milk;)
2 tbs
milk
(Contains Milk;)
Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to the boil. Peel the potato and cut into 2cm chunks. Pick the sage leaves. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus (about 3cm). Trim the green beans. Finely chop the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the macadamias.
Add the potato to the saucepan of boiling water and cook until easily pierced with a knife, 10-15 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan. Add the butter, milk and truffle oil (see ingredients list) to the potato. Mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Stir through the grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper (but remember that the saltimbocca chicken is very salty!). Cover with a lid to keep warm.
TIP: Add more truffle oil to taste if you like, but remember it's a very strong flavour!
While the potatoes are cooking, place the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking paper. Pound the chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm thick. Lay out two slices of prosciutto, then place a chicken breast on top. Place a couple of sage leaves on top of the chicken, then wrap the prosciutto slices around the chicken breast. Repeat with the remaining prosciutto, sage and chicken.
TIP: It's OK if the prosciutto slices tear!
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Once hot, add the macadamias and toast, tossing, until golden, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Return the frying pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the prosciutto-wrapped chicken, seam-side down, and cook until golden and cooked through, 3-5 minutes on each side (depending on thickness). Transfer to a plate to rest.
TIP: Chicken is cooked when it's no longer pink inside.
While the chicken is resting, return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil (if needed). Add the asparagus and a dash of water and cook until starting to soften, 2 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, tossing, until bright green and just tender, 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Squeeze over a little lemon juice (see ingredients list).
Divide the truffle and Parmesan mash, saltimbocca chicken, asparagus and green beans between plates. Spoon the chicken resting juices over the chicken and sprinkle the toasted macadamias over the greens to serve.
