Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 50 grams Fresh spinach (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine cream cheese, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, and chopped spinach. Mix until well blended.
Step 3
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be cautious not to cut all the way through.
Step 4
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with an equal portion of the cheese and spinach mixture. Gently press the edges of the chicken to seal the filling inside.
Step 5
Season each chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 6
Wrap each chicken breast with two slices of prosciutto, ensuring the slices overlap slightly to secure the filling. Place the wrapped chicken breasts seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Step 7
Drizzle the olive oil over the tops of the wrapped chicken breasts.
Step 8
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). The prosciutto should be crispy, and the chicken fully cooked.
Step 9
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
