One of the most talked about chicken dishes is the “drunken chicken”. This is where you take a chicken and rest it upon a can of beer and roast it in an oven or BBQ. The theory behind this technique is solid: dry heat on the outside to create that classic crisp skin; moist steam from the beer inside, to create a juicy tender chicken. I thought that the more subtle flavour of a Green Tea Beverage would be a nice replacement for a can of beer!

I have a love-hate relationship with chicken. I love a well cooked chicken dish but I hate raw chicken! When I teach Continuing Education classes here at The George Brown Chef’s School, during the Chicken Classes I have a sanitation program titled "Chicken, why do think they call it "Foul" anyway!?" With a basic knowledge of sanitation and some common sense you too can have a clean and safe chicken experience. Just make sure that you thoroughly clean all surfaces, utensils and especially your hands.

Chicken is so versatile and flavour neutral, so what we make with it can sometimes become a little repetitive. I wanted to shake things up a little for dinner tonight and put in a little more effort than simple roasted chicken breasts. I like the fact that my Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken and Asparagus look impressive enough to serve at a dinner party, but require very little preparation. You could even assemble the wrapped breasts before hand, cover and refrigerate them for the day, until you are ready to get cooking!
