Steps:
- Prepare grill.
- On a work surface spread prosciutto slices evenly with mustard. Top slices with basil leaves and sprinkle evenly with mozzarella. Starting with a short end roll up each prosciutto slice.
- Pat chicken dry and put on a work surface, skinned sides down. Remove "tender" (fillet strip located on either side of where breast bone was) from each breast half, keeping rest of chicken breast intact, and reserve tenders for another use. (There should be 1 tender from each breast half.)
- To form a long thin pocket in chicken for prosciutto roll: Put chicken breast halves on cutting board and, beginning at thicker end of breast half, horizontally insert a thin sharp knife three fourths of the way through center of each. Open cut to create a 1-inch-wide pocket in each half. Fit a prosciutto roll into each pocket and season chicken with salt and pepper.
- Grill chicken on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through, about 5 minutes on each side. (Alternatively, chicken may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately low heat.)
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts. For this recipe, it's best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Wrap the chicken breasts in prosciutto and mozzarella cheese. Be sure to tuck the ends of the prosciutto under the chicken so that the cheese doesn't leak out.
- Bake the chicken breasts at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
This recipe for chicken breasts with prosciutto and mozzarella is a delicious and easy-to-make main course that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of the tender chicken, salty prosciutto, and gooey mozzarella cheese is sure to please everyone at your table. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
