• 4 slices raw ham
• 2 Zucchini
• 3 tbsp clarified butter
• 125 ml poultry broth

Instructions

1. 1.

   Slice the chicken breast fillets lengthwise with a sharp knife and open them like a book. Season with salt and pepper. Place one slice of cheese and one slice of ham in each fillet.

2. 2.

   Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and cut into 2–3 mm thick slices. Blanch the zucchini slices in boiling salted water for 30 seconds, drain, shock in ice water, dry, and pat them dry.
