Method
- Pre-heat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Fan 180°C/Gas Mark 6
- Take the chicken breasts and wrap two slices of prosciutto around each one and place in a small baking tray. Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins until cooked through.
- Toss the squash in the oil and spread in a small baking tray. Place in the oven alongside the chicken and cook for about 10 mins until just tender. Remove and put to one side.
- To make the risotto melt half the butter in a heavy based frying pan. Add the rice and cook over a gentle heat for a minute, stirring all the time. Gradually ladle in the hot stock a little at a time, stirring continuously.
- After about 15 mins, when the rice is just tender, stir in the cooked squash. Carry on adding the hot stock until the rice is creamy. Stir in the remaining butter, parsley and parmesan.
- Spoon the risotto onto warm plates and scatter over the rocket. Top with the chicken and serve.
