Ingredients

  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into ribbons
  • Leaves from 2 small sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 whole chicken, quartered (about 3 pounds)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 lemon, juiced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put a cast iron or other ovenproof skillet large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer, or a small roasting pan, over medium heat and get it good and hot. Drizzle the pan with a 3-count of oil. Add the prosciutto and rosemary and cook, stirring, until the prosciutto is crisp and lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Push to 1 side of the pan. Season the chicken on both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper and add it to the pan, skin side down, in a single layer. Cook for about 5 minutes until the skin begins to set and crisp. Turn and cook 3 more minutes. Turn the chicken again, stick the pan in the oven and roast until the chicken is tender and cooked through, about 30 more minutes.

Take the pan out of the oven. Remove the chicken and prosciutto from of the pan and arrange on a platter to keep warm while you prepare the pan sauce. Pour out all but about 1 tablespoon of the rendered chicken fat and return the pan to the stovetop. Stir in the stock and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, scraping up the flavors stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon, until reduced to a syrup, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the pan sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.

    I'm glad I read the reviews. I also took the prosciutto and rosemary out of the pan before putting it in the oven or it would have burned. I also just used two large chicken breasts, but this was an extremely delicious way to cook chicken! I served it with roasted potatoes and asparagus. It was a hit with the family!

    Yum! The prosciutto adds a salty flavor to the dish, so next time I make this I won't salt the chicken quite as much.
