Saw this recipe of the Food Network and made a couple changes to suit my taste. Stuffing chicken isn't nearly as hard as it sounds. This is an easy tasty recipe.

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 chicken breasts, boneless skinless
6 slices prosciutto, about 1/3 pound
1 (10 ounce) box frozen spinach, defrosted
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3 tablespoons olive oil, extra virgin
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Wring out defrosted spinach in clean kitchen towel to remove water.
  • Toast pine nuts
  • Combine nuts with spinach in a bowl; mix in cheeses, garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • Cut into and across but not all the way through the chicken breasts, opening them up like a book with a sharp knife. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Fill each with a small mound of stuffing.
  • Flap chicken breasts back over stuffing and wrap each breast with prosciutto to seal them, carefully covering the whole breast.
  • Brush chicken all over with olive oil and roast 18 to 20 minutes until cooked through.
