Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts 10 ounces each
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel.
  3. Using a sharp knife, make an incision in the side of each chicken breast about 3 inches long and 2 inches deep--make sure you do not cut through the chicken breast, it needs to serve as a pocket.
  4. Crack an egg into a shallow bowl and whisk it with a fork.
  5. In another shallow bowl combine breadcrumbs, garlic salt, oregano and black pepper.
  6. Working with 1 chicken breast at a time, dip first into the egg mixture to coat and then immediately in the breadcrumb mixture, and set aside.
  7. Repeat with each chicken breast.
  8. Stuff each chicken breast first with 2oz of burrata and then 2 thin slices of prosciutto.
  9. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  10. Add chicken breasts to the skillet, working in 2 batches (2 breasts at a time).
  11. Brown chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side.
  12. Transfer to a foil lined baking sheet.
  13. Add 2 more tbsp of olive oil to the skillet and repeat with the other 2 chicken breasts.
  14. Transfer baking sheet to the oven.
  15. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  16. Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store prosciutto stuffed chicken breasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
