Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Gently rinse and pat dry the chicken breasts.
- Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in each chicken breast. Start at the thickest part and carefully slice horizontally, being mindful not to cut all the way through.
- Slice the sun-dried tomatoes into thin strips.
- Pit (if necessary) and chop the olives.
- Carefully stuff each chicken breast pocket with an equal amount of sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and basil leaves.
- Lay out the prosciutto slices. You'll need approximately 1.5 slices per chicken breast, depending on their size.
- Wrap each stuffed chicken breast with prosciutto slices, making sure the ends are tucked under to secure them.
- If necessary, use toothpicks to secure the stuffed and wrapped chicken breasts, ensuring the filling stays inside during cooking.
- Place the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. This helps the juices redistribute, making for juicier chicken.
- Remove any toothpicks and slice each breast into medallions if desired.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your flavorful Sun-Dried Stuffed Chicken Breast!
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use toothpicks to secure the stuffed chicken breasts and prevent the filling from spilling out during cooking.
- If you prefer a bit more moisture, consider adding a splash of chicken broth or white wine to the baking dish.
- Keep an eye on the chicken while it bakes to prevent overcooking, which can cause the meat to become dry.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts for a few hours in olive oil, garlic, and some Italian herbs before stuffing and cooking.
In conclusion, sun-dried stuffed chicken breast is a delicious and sophisticated dish that is surprisingly easy to make. By following these steps and taking note of the useful tips, you can create a meal that is both healthy and full of flavor. Don't hesitate to try this recipe for your next gathering or family meal; it's sure to be a hit!
