Cream Cheese Parma Ham Chicken

Cooking can be a delightful journey, especially when you discover recipes that truly excite your palate. One such recipe that never fails to impress is chicken breast wrapped in Parma ham. It’s a dish that combines the juicy tenderness of chicken with the savory richness of ham, creating a meal that’s both flavorful and satisfying. Today, I want to share two delightful variations of this delicious dish that you can easily recreate at home.

CHICKEN BREAST WRAPPED IN PARMA HAM

This first image showcases chicken breast wrapped in crispy Parma ham, a classic that is both simple and elegant. To make this dish, you start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Then, wrap each breast with slices of Parma ham, ensuring that the ham is secured around the chicken. You can use toothpicks if necessary to keep everything intact.

Once wrapped, place the chicken on a baking tray and pop it into a preheated oven. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the ham becomes wonderfully crispy. The smell as the chicken cooks is incredibly enticing, and the dish not only looks beautiful upon serving, but also tastes divine. Pair it with a light salad or your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.

Oven Baked Chicken in Parma Ham

The second image features another variation of this delectable dish: oven-baked chicken in Parma ham. The method is quite similar, but you can enhance the flavors by adding herbs such as rosemary or thyme on top of the chicken before wrapping it in ham. This extra touch gives the dish a fragrant aroma and a depth of flavor that is simply irresistible.

Baking the chicken in the oven allows the flavors to meld beautifully, and you can enjoy a hands-off cooking experience while you attend to other things in your kitchen or enjoy a little downtime. Once finished, let the chicken rest for a few moments before slicing it open to reveal the juicy, savory goodness sealed within. The crispy ham adds a delightful crunch, making every bite a treat.
