Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 50 grams Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and chopped spinach. Mix until well blended.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be cautious not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with an equal portion of the cheese and spinach mixture. Gently press the edges of the chicken to seal the filling inside.
Season each chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of prosciutto, ensuring the slices overlap slightly to secure the filling. Place the wrapped chicken breasts seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle the olive oil over the tops of the wrapped chicken breasts.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). The prosciutto should be crispy, and the chicken fully cooked.
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
