Ingredients
- 4 skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 5 ounces garlic & herb flavored cream cheese
- 8 strips prosciutto or bacon
- Olive oil
- 1 lemon, cut in wedges
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
- Salt and pepper
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise almost all the way through. Open out. Spread the insides of two breasts with pesto, two with the garlic & herb flavored cheese.
Close them up. Wrap a couple of slices of prosciutto roughly around the outside of each one, and lay them in a baking dish. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Add lemon wedges. Scatter basil over the top.
Bake for 30 minutes. Eat hot, warm, or cold. Slice up and share. Eat the lemon flesh. And don’t waste those juices — mop them up with some good bread.
