Pesto Chicken with Cheddar and Prosciutto
Pan-seared chicken breast stuffed with sharp cheddar and basil pesto, wrapped in savory prosciutto for a crispy finish that yields to a gooey, melted center.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz chicken breast
1 tbsp basil pesto
0.5 oz sharp cheddar cheese
1 slice prosciutto
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup asparagus spears
0.13 tsp sea salt
0.13 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Slice a pocket into the side of the chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Spread the basil pesto inside the pocket and tuck the cheddar cheese slice inside.
Season the outside of the chicken with sea salt and black pepper.
Wrap the prosciutto slice tightly around the center of the chicken breast to seal the pocket.
Add olive oil to the hot skillet, then sear the chicken for 6 minutes per side until the prosciutto is crispy and chicken is cooked through.
During the last 4 minutes of cooking, add the asparagus to the skillet to lightly blister and soften.
