Chicken Loaf Wrapped in Ham with Mushroom (with photo)

[farfallina]

Chicken Loaf Wrapped in Ham with Mushroom:

Ingredients:
50g parmesan
500g chicken breast
200g ricotta cheese
1 egg yolk
Salt, nutmeg
100g ham slices like speck (I used bresaola)
20g parsley leaves
1-2 cloves of garlic
25g extra virgin olive oil
500g common mushrooms, sliced
250g water
Salt

Preparation:
    * Put roughly chopped parmesan in TM Bowl and grate for 15 seconds speeding up from 2 to 9
    * Clean chicken from nerves and bones if there are any and cut into cubes
    * Start TM on Speed 6 and add chicken through the hole of TM Lid. Mix for 50 seconds
    * Add ricotta, egg yolk, salt and nutmeg. Mix for 50 seconds on Speed 4 and use also TM Spatula through the hole of TM Lid. You will have a very soft texture
    * Place ham slices next to each other on a clean surface or baking paper in a way they touch one another
    * Put chicken mixture in the center of ham slices and give it a rectangular shape (considering the size of Varoma Bowl). If you prefer to work with your hands wet them a little to work better
    * Cover chicken loaf completely with ham slices and place it in Varoma Bowl


    * Put parsley and garlic in washed and wiped TM Bowl. Chop for 5 seconds on Speed 7
    * Add oil and cook for 3 minutes at 100ºCon Speed 1
    * Add sliced mushrooms, water and salt
    * Place Varoma Bowl and cook for 30-35 minutes at 100ºC on Reverse/Soft Speed
    * Cut into slices and serve together with mushrooms

Another lovely looking dish farfallina - I will use proscuitto.  It is similar to one I do in the oven with sliced chicken which is stuffed with a mixture of breadcrumbs, pistachios and spring onions and I have been wondering how it would go in the varoma. In fact, I still have a bag of the stuffing in the freezer so will certainly be giving this recipe a go.

Thanks farfallina.  If this is anything like your other chicken recipes it will be wonderful.

I believe prosciutto would be great as well JD. By the way also the recipe you've been talking about sounds great! 
I hope you like also this one cookie

Good one farfallina  For those who cannot have ham, I have made something similar and wrapped the loaf in thin omelettes.

Would be great picnic food.
