Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 4 sticks Mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 pieces Toothpicks
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with a little olive oil and set aside.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried Italian seasoning.
Stuff each chicken breast by placing a small handful of fresh spinach leaves and one mozzarella stick inside the pocket. Close the pocket and firmly wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each chicken breast, ensuring the ends overlap and the filling stays in place.
Secure the wrapped chicken breasts with toothpicks if needed.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the prosciutto is lightly browned and crisp.
Transfer the skillet (or the prepared baking dish if your skillet is not oven-safe) to the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
Serve warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top for extra brightness.
