  2. Using a meat hammer, beat chicken thighs to make thinner.
  3. Place prosciutto on a cling film and on top add chicken thighs. Add salt and pepper.
  4. Using a spatula, spread mousse on the chicken and place sundried tomatoes and fresh oregano in the middle.
  5. Carefully close the fillet using the membrane in order to make a ballotine.
  6. Wrap in foil and bake in the oven for 1 hour and 15’ at 180C. Once the meat is cooked, place it immediately in a bowl filled with ice and water, to hold.
  7. Add a little bit of sunflower oil in a pan and sauté the chicken to give a nice, golden color.
  8. To make the sauce, sauté finely chopped onion and garlic in a pot. Add mushrooms.
  9. Once mushrooms are cooked, reduce with red wine. Once wine evaporates, add sweet wine.
