Ingredients
UnitsScale
3 large chicken breasts
6 tbsp goat cheese
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
6 fresh rosemary sprigs (plus 1 extra sprig for garnish)
6 slices prosciutto
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4cup olive oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Stuff each pocket with 2 tbsp goat cheese and 1 clove of chopped garlic. Season the inside and outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Lay a rosemary sprig on top of each stuffed chicken breast and wrap tightly with two slices of prosciutto. Use toothpicks to secure if needed.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each chicken breast for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 18–22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the prosciutto is crisp.
Remove toothpicks, garnish with additional rosemary, and serve warm.
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Pair with roasted vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
For extra richness, deglaze the skillet with white wine after searing and reduce slightly before roasting.
Goat cheese can be swapped for cream cheese or feta for variation.
