Asparagus & Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken

February 1, 2016 by Natalie

Stuffed chicken is one of my fave dishes to make… it’s easy, but somehow manages to look impressive too.  Gotta love that.  This combination is one I’ve been making for years.  Sometimes I add fresh basil, sometimes no cheese, but always- always I tell you- it has asparagus and prosciutto.  The combo is heaven.  (Have you seen my Asparagus, Melon, Mozz, & Crispy Prosciutto Salad HERE?)

I like serving this over sautéed greens… though it’s great over rice, mashed taters, or with cauliflower florets too!

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

2 chicken breasts, skinless/boneless

2 pieces prosciutto

1 handful asparagus spears (approx 10)

2-3 tbsp grated or sliced mozzarella cheese, optional

salt and pepper, to taste

olive oil, as needed

optional: sprinkle of paprika and crushed red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Trim or break off ends of all asparagus spears… they’re rough and no fun to chew

Drizzle olive oil over the tops, then toss with a sprinkle of salt and pepper

Bake for approx 4-5 minutes, or until al dente

Meanwhile, begin prepping chicken…

Since these will be rolled, you want the breasts flat and thin…

Place chicken in a large Ziploc (or in between Saran wrap layers),

then pound until it’s evenly thin throughout, one breast at a time

Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides, then lay chicken breasts

as flat as possible, lengthwise for easy rolling

Lay a piece of prosciutto over each breast

Lay approx 5 spears across each breast, on the end towards you

Plop a tbsp or so of grated mozzarella on the centers of each breast

Sprinkle a little extra pepper over the tops, optional

Rightly rill up each breast, then stick a toothpick or small

skewer through each to help it together while baking

Tip: my mom taught me to sprinkle a little paprika over the tops of chicken and

other dishes I may want a touch of color on… so I do that with these, totally optional though 🙂

Transfer to a baking sheet

(I use the same one I cooked the asparagus on- less dishes- and it’ll have some oil and flavor on it!)
