Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb chicken breast halve (boneless, skinless)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb asparagus spear (4-5 per breast)
1/2 lb provolone cheese (sliced)
1/4 lb prosciutto ham (thinly sliced)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (Italian or Plain)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Grease an 8x8 (or larger) baking dish.
  • Place each breast in a 1 gallon storage bag on a solid, flat surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4" to 3/8". Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap 4-6 asparagus spears with Prosciutto, then carefully wrap that with Provolone. Wrap the chicken breast around the asparagus, provolone, prosciutto roll to make a compact roll. Place the rolls, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle each with a generous amount of the bread crumbs. Cover asparagus tips with a small piece of tin foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear (about 50 minutes). Place one additional piece of prosciutto and 2-3 pieces of provolone on top of the chicken. Continue to bake for 10 additional minutes.
  • You now have a beautifully presented piece of gorgeously tasting art. This completed work will serve 2-4, depending on your appetite.
  • Serve with cannellini bean, tomato side dish (1 can cannellini, 1 can petite diced tomatoes, 1 tsp sage, 1 tsp oregano, and 1/2 onion) slow cooked for 30 minutes.
  • Delicious - I hope you enjoy.

GOAT CHEESE AND SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN



Goat Cheese and Spinach Stuffed Chicken image

This spinach-stuffed chicken breast recipe is special to me because it has so much flavor, yet not too many calories. I love Italian food, but most of the time it is too heavy. This is a healthy twist on an Italian dish! -Nicole Stevens, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina
