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.

This recipe is so good and surprisingly easy. The chicken comes out of the oven crispy yet stays moist with an indulgent filling.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

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.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 26m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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:

  • Choose high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a deep red color.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into it and making sure the juices run clear.
  • Serve the prosciutto-wrapped chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
  • For a more flavorful dish, you can also add some herbs or spices to the cream cheese filling. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder.
  • If you're short on time, you can also use store-bought pesto instead of making your own.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto-wrapped chicken with garlic and herb cream cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook chicken, give this recipe a try.
