Chicken Stuffed with Spinach and Cheese

Looks fancy, but so easy to make!

Prep Time: 15 minutes; Cook Time: 20 minutes; Total time 40 minutes. Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (2 oz./60 g) baby spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 lb. (125 g) fresh goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup (2 oz./60 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 lb. (750 g) total
  • 4 large, thin slices prosciutto or cooked ham

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Oil a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the spinach, goat cheese, and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place each chicken breast on a work surface. Holding a sharp knife parallel to the work surface, cut each breast in half lengthwise almost all the way through. Spread one-fourth of the spinach-cheese mixture in the center of each breast. Fold the chicken breast closed and season with salt and pepper. Wrap 1 prosciutto slice tightly around each chicken breast and place in the prepared dish.
  4. Bake until prosciutto is crisp and the chicken is opaque throughout, about 20 minutes. Serve directly from the dish.
