Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Stuffed With Goat Cheese & Sundried Tomatoes

This is such a delicious way to eat chicken! In my opinion, it's hard to keep chicken exciting. I get sick of it over and over again. I came up with this recipe to try and keep it exciting, delicious and healthy.
Goat cheese is my favorite and most frequently used cheese because the lactose is so low its practically lactose free. It's light and delicious. The sundried tomatoes give it a pop of acidity. The prosciutto... well do I even have to explain? I love prosciutto.
This stuffed chicken doesn't require any usual tools like string or toothpicks. The prosciutto keeps it wrapped together!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 4-6 Prosciutto strips
  • 1/4 cup Goat Cheese
  • 1/3 cup Sundried Tomatoes
  • .5 tsp Oregano
  • .5 tsp Basil
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees
  • Take your chicken breasts and using a large knife you are going to place your hand over the breast and carefully slice the chicken in half as to butterfly it. Be sure to not cut it all the way and to leave it attached so it's easier to fill and wrap.
  • Season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper
  • In a small mixing bowl, add your goat cheese, oregano and basil. Mix together until well combined.
  • Open up your butterflied chicken. Using a spoon, spread goat cheese mixture over one side of the inside of the chicken.
  • Top the goat cheese with sundried tomatoes. I used about 6 pieces.
  • Close your chicken up. Grab your prosciutto slices and wrap around horizontally. You want to make sure the prosciutto covers the part where you cut the chicken open. It's okay if it doesnt wrap all the way around. You will need to use about 2-3 slices of prosciutto from top to bottom.
  • This step is important dont skip it!-- On a stovetop pan, heat up 1 tbsp olive oil over medium high heat. You are going to brown your chicken on both sides. About 2-3 minutes per side. Your chicken should have some browning to it and the prosciutto should start to resemble like a lightly cooked piece of sot bacon..
  • Place your chicken on a baking sheet or dish and bake in the oven for about 18-20 minutes-- I recommend you use a thermometer to check if its done.
