We eat a lot of chicken. Besides the fact that it's diet friendly, chicken is super diverse and really tasty. I always love trying out a new chicken recipe, especially if it's stuffed with something delicious... like cream cheese and pesto.
And that's exactly what's inside these babies. Not to mention they are wrapped with a delicious layer of prosciutto, which adds a nice salty, chewy coverings.
This recipe works well served up with a side of whole grain pesto pasta, as pictures above. Bon apetit!
Pesto Prosciutto Chicken
(serves two)
2 skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup cream cheese
1 tablespoon pesto
4 slices prosciutto
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray.
Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board and slice horizontally 3/4 the way through the breast, leaving a portion of the top and the bottom connected.
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with pesto. Spread mixture into the opening slits of the chicken, dividing it evenly between the two breasts.
Fold chickens closed and wrap 2 pieces of prosciutto around each breast. Lay wrapped chicken onto baking pan and cook for 30 minutes or until cooked through.
