Instructions
Creating this delicious Caprese Prosciutto Chicken dish can be straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Wrap with Prosciutto: Lay 2 slices of prosciutto on a clean surface. Place a chicken breast on top and wrap the prosciutto around it. Repeat this for the remaining chicken breasts.
4. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the wrapped chicken breasts. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Add Cheese and Tomatoes: After searing, top each chicken breast with sliced mozzarella and tomatoes.
6. Bake the Chicken: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Broil (Optional): If you’d like a bubbly top, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired.
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish with ease. Each phase guarantees maximum flavor while making the cooking experience enjoyable!
