PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE



Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Breast Recipe image

A flavorful, EASY prosciutto wrapped chicken recipe! Chicken and prosciutto with sun-dried tomato goat cheese filling looks fancy, but needs only 15 minutes prep time.

Provided by Maya Krampf

Categories     Main Course

Time 43m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium Chicken breasts
2 tbsp Sea salt
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
4 oz Goat cheese ((crumbled))
1/4 cup Sun-dried tomatoes ((chopped))
1 tbsp Fresh thyme
2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
12 sliced Prosciutto ((or 16 if your chicken breasts are large))

Steps:

  • To brine the chicken breasts, place them in a large bowl with enough water to cover them. Add sea salt and stir to mostly dissolve. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature, or for up to a day in the refrigerator.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
  • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves.
  • Cut a slit horizontally in each chicken breast, not cutting all the way through, to form a pocket. Stuff the inside with the goat cheese mixture and press lightly to prevent filling from falling out.
  • Lay out 3 slices of prosciutto flat (or 4 slices if your chicken breasts are large), slightly overlapping. Place a stuffed chicken breast on top upside down (so that the nicer looking side is face down) and wrap in prosciutto, covering all sides, including the slit. Place into a 9x13 baking dish, preferably with the prosciutto ends mostly tucked underneath.
  • Wrap the remaining chicken pieces in prosciutto and place into the baking dish, so that the pieces are not touching or just barely touching.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, until cooked through or internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F(74 degrees C). Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED CHICKEN BREAST



Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Breast image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
4 ounces ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon finely minced fresh sage
1 large egg yolk
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
6 slices prosciutto
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed
1 shallot, finely diced
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Using a small knife, make an incision in the top rounded end of a chicken breast, cutting through the center and to the ends without breaking the sides, to form a pocket for the stuffing.
  • Combine the tomatoes, ricotta, walnuts, sage and egg yolk in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon (or place the filling into a piping bag without a tip), stuff one of the chicken breasts with half of the ricotta mixture. Seal the cut end of the chicken closed using a toothpick. Repeat with the other chicken breast.
  • Lay the prosciutto into 2 sheets (3 pieces each) and roll around each stuffed breast. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large, ovenproof saute pan until almost smoking. Sear the chicken breasts on the seam side of the prosciutto, then flip and transfer the pan to the oven. Roast until the center of the chicken registers 160 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan, add the capers and shallots and cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute to soften the shallots. Add the chicken stock and cook until reduced by half, then swirl in the butter. Add the parsley and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the chicken and serve with the sauce over the top.

Prosciutto-Stuffed Baked Chicken Breasts with Pesto image

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

olive oil cooking spray
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper to taste
4 slices smoked provolone cheese
4 thin slices prosciutto
½ cup pesto
8 cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 ⅔ tablespoons Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray an 11x7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Slice a pocket lengthwise, horizontal to the cutting board, in each breast, leaving the tips intact and not slicing all the way through. The larger end of the breast should be a sort of cupped shape. Gently open each pocket, pointing the cut edge up, and leaving them on the cutting board. Lightly season with salt and pepper.
  • Place 1 slice provolone cheese on each chicken breast. Layer 1 slice prosciutto over cheese, lightly folding it so it does not hang over the edge of the chicken. Spoon 2 tablespoons pesto over each chicken breast and top with tomato pieces. Sprinkle seasoned bread crumbs over chicken. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, stuffing-side up.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup soft goat cheese
3 dates, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 large, thin slices of prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a baking sheet, and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallots, and cook until they turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook and stir an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the shallot mixture to a bowl. Mix in the goat cheese, dates, and basil; stir until well combined.
  • With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch long slit into the thick side of each chicken breast. Work your fingers into the slit, and expand the slit to form a pocket in the breast meat. With your fingers or a spoon, stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 cup of the goat cheese mixture. Wipe off any cheese mixture from the outside of the chicken breast, and wrap each breast in a slice of prosciutto so that the pocket opening is covered. Place the chicken breasts, seam sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken meat is no longer pink and the prosciutto is browned and crisp, about 40 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over after 20 minutes.
