Per serving
Steps
Preheat oven to 220C/210C fan
Place chips on a lined oven tray and lightly spray with oil - cook according to directions on packet
Place panko breadcrumbs plus dried thyme, beaten egg and flour in 3 separate shallow dishes
Carefully cut each chicken breast to half the thickness
Cover the chicken breasts with glad wrap and pound until an even thinner thickness
Dip the chicken into the flour, then the egg and finally the panko until evenly coated on both sides
Season the chicken with salt and pepper
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan to a medium heat and fry the onions for a few minutes and then the chicken 3 or 4 mins either side until golden brown
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish and top with a slice of prosciutto, tomato sauce and a slice of mozzarella cheese
Once the chips have started to brown and become crisp, place the tray at the bottom of the oven and keep warm
Heat the grill to the highest setting and place the baking tray with the chicken breasts under the grill
In the meantime, prepare and steam the broccoli and sugar snap peas
Once the cheese starts to bubble and the sauce is heated through, take everything out of the oven
To serve place the chicken and onions with the sauce together with the chips and vegetables
NB - To be able to cook all the chicken breasts at the same time, it is advisable to use 2 large frying pans, otherwise cook a couple of chicken breasts at one time
* Ham can be substituted for the prosciutto
