  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 38 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 slices of prosciutto
– 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
– ½ cup ricotta cheese
– 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken With Spring Veggies:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, salt, and pepper.
3. Stuff Chicken: Take each chicken breast and make a pocket by slicing it horizontally. Fill each pocket with the spinach and ricotta mixture.
4. Wrap with Prosciutto: Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with two slices of prosciutto, ensuring the filling is completely covered.
5. Sear Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Prepare Veggies: While chicken is searing, toss asparagus and cherry tomatoes in a bowl with remaining olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
7. Add Veggies to Skillet: Once the chicken is seared, remove it from the skillet and set aside. Add the asparagus and tomatoes to the skillet, stirring well.
8. Bake: Place the chicken back in the skillet on top of the vegetables. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
9. Check Doneness: Ensure the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
10. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
