A simple way to prepare chicken that looks like you spent a lot of time preparing. It can also be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until baked. Be sure to use a good quality pesto for best results. I like to serve it with pasta, but it is also nice sliced and served on a green salad.

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup prepared basil pesto, divided

  • Spread about 2 tablespoons of pesto per chicken breast over the top of each breast, and wrap each breast in prosciutto slices to cover the entire breast. Place the wrapped chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink, the juices run clear, and the prosciutto is lightly crisped, about 25 minutes.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the pesto sauce was too oily. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
