Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 100 grams cream cheese, softened
- 60 grams fresh spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 30 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 15 grams fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces prosciutto slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Slice each one horizontally, but not all the way through, creating a butterfly cut. Open them flat and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1 cm.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped spinach, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Lay out the chicken breasts and spread an even layer of the cream cheese filling onto each, leaving a small border around the edges.
Carefully roll each chicken breast tightly into a log. Use toothpicks to secure the edges if necessary.
Wrap each chicken log with 3 slices of prosciutto, ensuring they overlap slightly to cover the chicken completely.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken logs for 2 minutes on each side to lightly brown the prosciutto.
Transfer the seared chicken logs to the prepared baking tray. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 74°C or 165°F).
Remove the chicken logs from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice into thick rounds and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
