Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare to the end of step 2 the day before, cover and chill.
- Preheat the barbecue or grill. Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal pocket in each chicken breast. Stuff each one with some thyme leaves, a slice of mozzarella and lemon zest.
- Wrap each chicken breast tightly in 2 slices of Parma ham; chill for 30 minutes.
- Barbecue the chicken for 20-25 minutes, turning once, until cooked. Cook the tomatoes alongside the chicken for 7-8 minutes until just softened. Serve the chicken and tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and a little balsamic vinegar, scattered with basil leaves.
