Prosciutto chicken with spinach and kale is a delightful and healthy dish that combines the savory flavors of prosciutto with the freshness of green veggies. This recipe is not only easy to prepare but also packed with nutrients, making it a perfect choice for a quick weeknight meal or an elegant dinner party.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring that it covers the chicken well. You can use toothpicks to secure the prosciutto if needed.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts and sear each side for about 2-3 minutes until the prosciutto is crispy and the chicken is golden brown.
5. Bake:
Once seared, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic (if using) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the spinach and kale to the pan and sauté for about 3-5 minutes, until the greens are wilted and tender. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked greens and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts over a bed of sautéed spinach and kale.

Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly pounded for uniform cooking.
- Do not overcook the prosciutto as it should remain tender and not become too crispy.
- Wilt the spinach and kale just until they are tender but still vibrant green to retain their nutrients.
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can marinate the chicken in a mixture of lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before wrapping it in the prosciutto.
