這菜式保證會令你改變對雞胸的印象！

煙肉雞胸卷配意大利羅勒醬

材料

• 羅勒醬 pesto
  • 新鮮羅勒 basil 數株
  • 芝士粉 1-2 湯匙
  • 蒜 1 瓣
• 雞胸 1 塊
• 煙肉 3 片
• 串茄 / 車厘茄 1 盒 (十數顆)

步驟

1. 洗淨雞胸及抹乾。在雞胸中間割開，讓雞胸肉變成一份薄片。不要切斷，切開後的形狀像蝴蝶一樣，西式叫 butterfly a chicken breast。中式稱這切法為切雙飛。
2. 撒上少許鹽及黑胡椒粉，醃雞肉一會兒。
3. 自製 pesto (如用現成的可跳過此步) : 將羅勒葉切碎，放入碗中，拌入芝士粉及蒜蓉。用匙按壓拌勻，最後加入橄欖油輕拌即成。如有攪拌機，可把所有材料 (羅勒葉、芝士粉及蒜頭) 直接攪碎及拌勻，更節省時間。
4. 把焗爐預熱，溫度為 180 C。
5. 把 pesto 均勻地抹在雞胸肉上。將雞胸捲起來，要緊密一點。把煙肉蓋在雞肉面，包裹整個表面，但不要捲多於一層。
6. 把雞肉卷放在焗盤內，以 180 C 焗 10 分鐘。放入串茄，再多焗 10 分鐘。
7. 如想煙肉帶點香脆，將滲出的油份搽在煙肉表面，以 200 C 焗 5分鐘。
8. 烤焗完會有大量的油份滲出，可在上碟前把多餘的倒走，完成。
