Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breasts




I have a confession, I have a girl crush on Chrissy Teigen. Which is utterly normal as LOOK AT HER!!!!! She is perfection! So when I found out she was launching her first recipe book, I was super excited, especially after seeing all those food photos on her Instagram account.

I purchased her recipe book "Cravings" a few weeks ago, it was an absolute mission to get my hands on!! Sold out everywhere but being the stubborn woman that I am, I continued with my mission and finally found a stockist who had some in stock, hooray!!!

This is the first recipe I have cooked from her book, I have tweaked it slightly as she uses goats cheese which I hate and I used Boursin instead of making the herb and garlic cream cheese from scratch. I served mine with my sauté potatoes (to view the recipe for this, check out my post "Midweek Dinner - Steak, Sautéed Potatoes & Creamed Spinach") and it tasted ahhh-maaaaa-zing!!

It's really simple to russell up and the chicken is so moist and full of flavour!

Serves 4.

Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tub of Boursin
  • 2 rashers of bacon
  • Salt & pepper
  • 16 plum/cherry tomatoes
  • Olive oil
  • 8 rashers of Prosciutto
  • Fresh Thyme sprigs 

Fry the bacon in a frying pan with a little olive oil until crispy. Place on some kitchen paper to soak up any excess oil/grease, set aside and leave to cool.

Put the chicken in a freezer bag (one at a time) and bash with a rolling pin until flattened. Once flattened, trim off any bits that don't look pretty or are sticking out too much. Place on a large plate and repeat this step for the other 3 breasts. Season with salt & pepper on each side.

Once the bacon has cooled, crumble it up and leave on the kitchen paper until ready to use.

Spread some Boursin onto each chicken breast (I don't want to see any chicken underneath that cheese!!) then sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top. Season with pepper.

Now you need to roll each chicken breast carefully then wrap with 2 rashers of Prosciutto. Brush a little olive oil on top and season with some pepper.

Place the breasts seam side down in an ovenproof dish, then scatter the tomatoes around the chicken and place a sprig of fresh Thyme on top of each breast (if using). Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, until the Prosciutto is nice and crispy.

Voila!! Your dinner is ready....bon appetit!
