Prosciutto Wrapped & Stuffed Chicken Breast
20 mins prepServes 2
This is a really easy meal that just looks lovely & tastes fantastic. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are butterflied, pounded thin, stuffed with cheese and asparagus, wrapped in prosciutto, and grilled to perfection.
1. Lay slices of thinly sliced prosciutto slightly overlapping on parchment paper or plastic wrap, ensuring about 2 inches of prosciutto at each end to wrap the chicken.
2. Butterfly boneless skinless chicken breasts, then cover them in plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts out to 1/4” thickness evenly.
3. Lightly season the chicken with organic garlic pepper and whiskey dust rub, or your favorite rub. Be mindful of salt content due to the prosciutto.
4. Place 2 oz of your favorite cheese (e.g., pepper jack or creamy herb & garlic) down the center of each flattened chicken breast. Top with trimmed small, thin stalks of asparagus. (If using thicker asparagus stalks, pre-blanch them).
5. Roll each chicken breast up tightly and then wrap it in the prepared prosciutto. Lightly season the outside of the prosciutto-wrapped chicken.
6. Preheat your grill to 275°F.
7. Grill the chicken until the internal breast temperature reaches 155-160°F.
8. Rest the grilled chicken for 10 minutes prior to slicing.
