Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons butter
1 leek, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
8 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded 1/4 inch thick
4 thin slices prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the leek and garlic in the melted butter until the leek softens and the garlic turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the Gouda until melted. Divide the cheese mixture among the chicken breasts; roll the chicken around the filling. Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto, and secure with toothpicks. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
