Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breast with Spinach and Feta
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 8 slices of prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano.
- Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the spinach and feta mixture, then season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with 2 slices of prosciutto, making sure to cover the entire breast.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the prosciutto is crispy and the chicken is golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
