| | Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast |
Ingredients
- 4 fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1package Boursin cheese, room temperature
- 1 1/2cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1package thin sliced prosciutto(6-8 slices)
- Salt and Pepper
- 2tablespoons butter
- 1tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken breasts in double gallon sized zippered bags. With a mallet on the smooth side, pound the chicken 1/4″ thick. Place the pounded chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Spread an even amount of Boursin cheese over all four chicken breasts. Evenly distribute mozzarella cheese on top of the Boursin. Carefully roll up chicken, seam side down. Wrap each chicken roll with a slice of prosciutto, tucking the ends under the chicken roll. Melt butter and olive oil together in baking dish or glass pie plate. Place chicken rolls in baking dish. Bake for about 30 minutes or until internal temperature is 165 degrees. With a pastry brush, baste the chicken rolls several times during the cooking process with the butter/olive oil mixture. (This will give the chicken rolls added flavor and a beautiful glossy finish.) Serve with pasta, rice, vegetables or a salad. Serves 4.
Recipe Notes
The Story of Boursin Cheese:
It started in 1957 with François Boursin, a French cheese maker who was quietly trying to perfect his cheese before he introduced it to the world. But in 1961 a newspaper mistakenly reported that François had infused the cheese with garlic, and his product became an overnight sensation.
