My son Ted who is eleven still declares that he hates vegetables. As his mother I’m still trying to play hide the veggies. Ted, as he gets older, is starting to become wise to my game. When he was younger he wouldn’t really ask what went into the dishes I made. Nowadays Ted will ask what exactly is in the meal. There is one green that he will eat without to much fuss. Yes it’s rocket. I decided to add it to this dish and thankfully it was a success with all of us. We hope it’s enjoyable for you too.

Chicken, Parma Ham and Mayo Jacket Potato was a great dish. It was slightly time consuming but the efforts were worth the results. Plus it was easy to prepare and cook. The ingredients in the mayonnaise sauce could be made and frozen for another occasion. As for the chicken and Parma ham personally I think they are better cooked fresh. The dish also made yummy leftovers the next day too. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
