Ingredients for Sauteed Chicken Breasts with Country Ham and Summer Succotash

• 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

• 240 ml de cebolla picada

• 1 red pepper, cut into 1/3-inch dice

• 4 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, divided

• 2 dientes de ajo, picados

• 110g haricots verts or slender green beans, trimmed, cut into 3/4-inch pieces (about 240ml )

• 2 small courgette, trimmed, cut into 1/3-inch dice

• 240ml fresh corn kernels (cut from 2 ears of corn)

• 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves

• 4 thin slices country ham or prosciutto (each about 6x3 inches)

• 120ml de harina

• 2 tablespoons whipping cream

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until beginning to soften, 3 minutes. Add pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme, and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add beans; sauté until just beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add courgette; sauté until all vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 minutes longer. Stir in corn; remove from heat.

Cover cutting board with large sheet of plastic wrap. Arrange chicken, smooth side up, on plastic wrap, spacing several inches apart. Sprinkle with remaining 3 teaspoons thyme, then pepper. Place 1 ham slice on each chicken breast, trimming so edges extend slightly over chicken. Place another sheet of plastic wrap atop chicken breasts. Using meat mallet or rolling pin, pound evenly to scant 1/2-inch thickness. Turn chicken over and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, then flour.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in each of 2 heavy large skillets over medium-high heat. Divide chicken between skillets, ham side up, and cook until edges of chicken begin to turn opaque, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook until cooked through, 4 minutes longer. Remove from heat; cover.

Rewarm succotash over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Mix in cream; season with salt and pepper.

Transfer chicken to plates, ham side up. Spoon succotash alongside.
