Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
- Using a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket for the stuffing.
- Divide the goat cheese and sun-dried tomato mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, stuffing it into the pockets.
- Wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each stuffed chicken breast, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
- Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the chicken is golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Discard the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your delicious prosciutto-wrapped goat cheese and sun-dried tomato stuffed chicken breast!
