Ingredients:
Instructions:
a. Butterfly the Chicken: Carefully butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, without cutting all the way through, to open it like a book.
b. Stuff the Chicken: Spread an equal amount of the ricotta mixture onto one side of the butterflied chicken breast. Fold the other side over to encase the filling.
a. Secure with Toothpicks (optional): If you're worried about the prosciutto unraveling during cooking, you can secure the edges with toothpicks.
b. Coat with Olive Oil: Brush the outside of each prosciutto-wrapped chicken breast with olive oil to ensure it crisps up nicely during baking.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before stuffing.
- Toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown to enhance their flavor.
- If you’re having trouble keeping the prosciutto in place, use toothpicks to secure it during cooking.
- Let the stuffed chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
