Chicken Thighs with Crispy Prosciutto and Foie Gras Pate Recipe

Chicken Thighs with Crispy Prosciutto and Foie Gras Pate Recipe

  • 8 ounces foie gras pate
  • 12 skinless, boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 ounces thinly sliced Italian prosciutto
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup corn oil
  1. Cut pate into 12 rectangles, and place onto a plate lined with plastic wrap. Place into the freezer. Combine chicken thighs and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl. Seal with plastic wrap, and place in refrigerator to marinate for 1 hour.
  2. Gently fry the prosciutto in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain, cool and crumble into a bowl. Season with garlic powder to taste; set aside.
  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  4. Remove chicken thighs from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Discard marinade. Lay the chicken thighs out flat on a clean work surface. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle crumbled prosciutto in the center. Place a cube of pate on top of the prosciutto, then wrap the thigh around the filling and secure with toothpicks.
  5. Heat corn oil in a large skillet over high heat. Place thighs into oil, and cook until browned all over, about 5 minutes. When browned, place thighs seam side down into a glass baking dish.
  6. Bake in preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink, and the juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes, depending on size.
