Time 26m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dry basil leaves
1/8 teaspoon pepper
12 chicken tenders
salt and pepper (optional)
6 prosciutto ham slices (more depending on size)
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, garlic, basil leaves and pepper.
Place chicken tenders on a sheet of waxed paper. Spoon 1/6th of cheese filling evenly onto the center of chicken tender. Top with a second chicken tender. (Note: The original recipe didn't call for salt, but at this point you can season with salt and pepper.) Wrap a slice of prosciutto ham around the filled chicken. Repeat this to make a total of 6 stuffed chicken tenders.
In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat until foamy. Add chicken and cook 3 minutes, turn, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside.
Tip: Toss hot cooked noodles in the buttery pan juices left in the skillet. Add a little chopped parsley for a great side dish.

Tips:

Use high-quality cream cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the final product.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before you start. This will make it easier to mix and will help to prevent lumps.
Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
Don't overmix the cream cheese mixture. Overmixing can make it too thin and runny.
Serve the garlic and herb cream cheese immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Garlic and herb cream cheese is a versatile and delicious spread that can be used in a variety of ways. It is perfect for sandwiches, wraps, crackers, and vegetables. It can also be used as a dip for chips or pretzels. No matter how you choose to enjoy it, garlic and herb cream cheese is sure to be a hit!
