Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (drained if in oil, roughly chopped)
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves (roughly chopped)
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Toothpicks (optional for securing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast by slicing lengthwise, making sure not to cut all the way through.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, and minced garlic. Stir to mix evenly.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Spoon the filling mixture into the pocket of each chicken breast, dividing it evenly among the four pieces.
Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two slices of prosciutto, ensuring the filling is secured. If needed, secure with toothpicks to hold the prosciutto and filling in place.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the wrapped chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until the prosciutto is golden and slightly crisp.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or move the chicken to the prepared baking dish) and 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 before serving. Remove toothpicks if used.
Serve hot with your choice of side dishes, such as steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or roasted potatoes.
