The best three ingredient recipe I have every posted…well actually, it may be the only three ingredient recipe I have ever posted, but either way, this is the real deal. Fancy enough for company and easy enough for a super weeknight meal!
Spread a couple tablespoons of cream cheese onto the chicken, leaving an edge around it so the chicken seals and the gooey lovely cream cheese doesn’t sneak out.
That concludes my cooking experiment for today folks! It was a tasty one too!
A easy THREE INGREDIENT dinner! Simple enough for weeknight meals but fancy enough for guests!
Ingredients
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 slices prosciutto ham sliced, not shaved
- 1 5 ounce container herb cream cheese I used Boursin
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally but not all the way through. Open like a book. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken.
- Divide cream cheese evenly between the 4 chicken breasts. About a heaping two tablespoons each.
- Fold chicken back together.
- Top with two slices of prosciutto. Wrap around chicken and press to seal.
- Heat non stick oven safe or cast iron skillet to medium high. Add olive oil. Heat oil until shimmering.
- Sear each wrapped chicken breast for about 2 minutes on each side or until brown and crispy. If your chicken breasts are really thick, you might want to sear the sides as well.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes depending on the thickness of your chicken. 165 degrees is the perfect temp for juicy chicken!
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- I serve this with rice and steamed veggies!
