Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200C, fan 180°C Lay out the fillets on a board.

2. 2

   Season all over and carefully make a small incision about 4-5 cm (2-2 1/2 in) long and 3cm (1 1/2in) deep in the centre of each one to make a 'pocket'.

3. 3

   Stuff 2 slices of the mozzarella and 3 basil leaves into each of the pockets - don't worry if either the herbs or cheese poke out a little.

4. 4

   Wrap each chicken breast with 1 1/2 slices of the Parma ham to conceal the pocket.

5. 5

   Heat the oil in a pan and sear each breast on both sides until golden.

6. 6

   Place on a roasting tray in the oven for 8 minutes, until cooked through and the cheese is oozing.

7. 7

   Serve with boiled potatoes in herb butter, plus salad.
