Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Recipe

Delicious, crispy prosciutto wrapped around juicy chicken, stuffed with ricotta cheese and spinach! This rather fancy looking dish, is remarkably easy to assemble.

Ingredients

1/4 cup chicken broth
2 cups ricotta cheese
1 Tablespoon creme fraiche
2 cups baby spinach, chopped fine
1 teaspoon dried thyme
pinch ground nutmeg
salt and pepper
2 Tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
4 chicken breasts
8 slices prosciutto

Directions

Preheat oven to 375F.

Pour the chicken broth into a large baking dish.

In a mixing bowl, stir together the ricotta, creme fraiche, spinach, thyme, nutmeg, salt, pepper and parmesan.

Use a sharp knife to gently cut a slice to create a pocket in each chicken breast.

Cut deep enough to add the filling but not slicing all the way through.

Divide the filling evenly among the chicken breasts, filling each pocket.

Wrap each chicken breast in 2 slices of prosciutto and place in the baking dish.

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and no pink is showing.
