    List of Ingredients




    For the marinade:
    3 tbsp vegetable oil
    2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
    1 tbsp freshly chopped thyme
    1 tbsp freshly chopped tarragon
    1 garlic clove, crushed
    pinch each of salt and ground black pepper


    For the chicken:
    4 skin-on chicken breast fillets
    2 large slices smoked ham
    50g Gruyere cheese, thinly sliced
    1 large beefsteak tomato, cut into 8 slices
    green salad and sautéed potatoes, to serve

    Recipe



    PREPARATION:

    1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/gas mark 5. Make the marinade by mixing the oil, lemon juice, thyme, tarragon, garlic and seasoning together.
    2. Cut 3 slits in each chicken breast and arrange them skin side up in a suitable ovenproof dish, in a single layer. Pour the marinade over the chicken, dividing it equally among the 4 breasts. Allow the marinade to soak into the flesh for 30 minutes.

    3. Place the marinated chicken in the centre of the preheated oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

    4. Remove the cooked chicken from the oven, then preheat the grill to moderate. Slice the ham in half to give 4 pieces and arrange one piece on each breast. Top with the cheese and 2 slices of tomato, then season to taste.

    5. Place under the grill for 6-8 minutes or until the cheese starts to bubble. Serve immediately with a green salad and sautéed potatoes.
