Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic

Instructions
 

Italian Herb Mix

  • Mix everything in a bowl. Store in a sealed jar for up to 6 months in a dry and cool place.
    3 tablespoons basil, 5 tablespoons dried oregano, 2 tablespoons dried rosemary, 2 tablespoons dried thyme, ½ tablespoon chili flakes, 1 tablespoon garlic powder

Tuscan Chicken

  • Place the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound flat.
    4 chicken breast
  • Sprinkle both sides of each fillet with one tablespoon of herb mix.
    4 tablespoons Italian herb mix
  • Wrap each chicken breast with one slice of Serrano ham.
    4 slices Serrano ham
  • Brush with olive oil.
    4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Grill about 5 minutes on each side, until cooked through.

NOTES

1. Can I use a different type of ham? Parma ham, or prosciutto also works well. Don’t use bacon—it’s too fatty and doesn’t get crispy in the same way.
2. Storage
  • Refrigerator—raw Tuscan chicken: Wrap and season ahead of time. Store it for a few hours in the fridge or freeze it for up to a month.
  • Refrigerator—Grilled chicken: Store in the fridge for up to 2 days, covered.
  • Freezer: Freeze up to 2 months. Let it defrost in the fridge.
