Prosciutto Provolone Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe 345

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Grease an 8x8 (or larger) baking dish.
• Place each breast in a 1 gallon storage bag on a solid, flat surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4" to 3/8". Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
• Wrap 4-6 asparagus spears with Prosciutto, then carefully wrap that with Provolone. Wrap the chicken breast around the asparagus, provolone, prosciutto roll to make a compact roll. Place the rolls, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle each with a generous amount of the bread crumbs. Cover asparagus tips with a small piece of tin foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear (about 50 minutes). Place one additional piece of prosciutto and 2-3 pieces of provolone on top of the chicken. Continue to bake for 10 additional minutes.
• You now have a beautifully presented piece of gorgeously tasting art. This completed work will serve 2-4, depending on your appetite.
• Serve with cannellini bean, tomato side dish (1 can cannellini, 1 can petite diced tomatoes, 1 tsp sage, 1 tsp oregano, and 1/2 onion) slow cooked for 30 minutes.
• Delicious - I hope you enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Place each chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound chicken lightly until about 1/8 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with salt and pepper. Place 2 slices of the prosciutto, 2 slices of the provolone cheese, and a few basil leaves on each chicken piece. Fold in sides; roll up chicken. Secure each roll with a wooden toothpick. In a large oven-safe skillet heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken rolls. Cook about 6 minutes or until golden, turning occasionally to brown evenly. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Return pasta to hot pot; cover and keep warm. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm. In the same skillet combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, butter, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium heat for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add cooked pasta; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese; toss gently to coat. To serve, remove toothpicks from chicken rolls. Slice each chicken roll; arrange chicken and pasta on dinner plates. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and, if desired, garnish with additional basil.

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).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425.
• On baking sheet arrange chicken pieces skin side up.
• Stuff 1 slice of Prosciutto under the skin of each piece.
• sprinkle with fresh lemon juice
• cut butter pat into 4 pieces - place one piece on each chicken part.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper as desired.
• Roast until juices run clear about 35-40 minutes.
