Yesterday I wanted to have something special for diner. After all, I was inspired by the holiday!

Anyway, determined not to leave the nest to go to the supermarket, I had to work with what was in the fridge.

I had two beautiful chicken breast, but without the skin. So here's what I did:

On the food processor I quickly chopped 2 shallots, 3 garlic cloves and about 180 grs of button mushrooms, along with salt, pepper, fresh thyme and lemon juice. Sauteed the mixture fast in a little bit of olive oil and set aside. Opened the chicken breast, spooned in the mushroom mixture and involved it like a parcel in three very thin slices of parma ham. Placed these little beauties in an oven proof frying pan and drizzled with olive oil. Cooked for about 35 minutes in a high oven, basting once or twice until the ham was crispy and the chicken cooked through. Served with a melt in the mouth dauphinoise and french green beans.

Sometimes staying at home, pushes your imagination. Dinner, looked beautiful, smelt homely and tasted delicious. The glass of red Rioja made it!. Happy Valentines day.
