Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons herbed goat cheese
- 1/4 cup roasted red bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices prosciutto
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray it with cooking spray.
- Using 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 chicken breast.
- Stuff each chicken breast pocket with a tablespoon of the goat cheese and half of the sliced roasted red bell peppers. Sprinkle the salt and pepper on the outside of each chicken breast.
- Wrap each chicken breast in two slices of the prosciutto and lay the wrapped chicken seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken for 20 minutes then flip it over so that the other side browns and bake for another 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165° F. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
