Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F / gas mark 4). Starting at the thick side of each chicken fillet, cut a deep horizontal pocket into each breast. Stuff with a piece of Gorgonzola cheese.
  2. Lay three sage leaves on top of each breast. Warp each one in two slices of Parma ham and tie with kitchen string or secure with a couple of cocktail sticks. Season.
  3. Heat half the oil in a large ovenproof frying pan and fry the chicken for 1-2 mins on each side until just sealed.
  4. Meanwhile, toss the asparagus spears in the remaining oil, scatter around chicken parcels, transfer the frying pan to the oven and roast for 8-10 mins until cooked through and tender. Remove string or cocktail sticks and arrange on warmed plates to serve.
