Chicken And Egg Lettuce Cups
- 1 head iceberg lettuce
- 4 None large eggs
- 2 None medium potatoes
- 3 oz prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 None grilled chicken (about 2 lbs)
- 2 cups fresh basil leaves
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
- Cut the core from the lettuce. Rinse the lettuce under cold running water, with the cored end facing upwards, the whole leaves should slip off easily. Put 12 medium-sized lettuce leaves with a good 'cup' shape in a bowl of iced water and keep in the fridge until required. (Keep the rest of the lettuce in a resealable plastic bag in the fridge for another use.)
- Put the eggs and unpeeled potatoes in a medium pot, add enough cold water to the pan to completely cover the eggs and potatoes. Heat the pot over a high heat until the water boils. Boil for 7 mins then remove the eggs with tongs and put them in a small bowl of cold water. When cool enough to handle, gently crack the egg shells all over and leave in the water to cool.
- Continue boiling the potatoes until they are soft when tested with a fork or skewer. Drain the potatoes in a colander over the sink, then cool.
- Meanwhile, tear the prosciutto into pieces. Put a medium frying pan on the stove over high heat. Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the prosciutto is browned and crisp. Remove the prosciutto from the pan and drain on paper towels.
- Remove the chicken meat from the bones. Shred the chicken meat into pieces.
- Peel away the egg shells. Peel the potatoes. Chop the eggs, potatoes and basil coarsely.
- To make the dressing, mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, honey and mustard in a large bowl and season to taste. Add the chicken, egg, potato, basil and prosciutto and mix gently.
- To serve, spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each lettuce cup.
