Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- 1.4 oz. finely sliced prosciutto (Parma ham)
- 1.3 oz. cream cheese (low-fat)
- 5-10 fresh basil leaves (depending on size)
- Pepper
Instructions
- Place the prosciutto slices on a piece of aluminum foil so the edges overlap slightly.
- Spread the cream cheese evenly onto the prosciutto.
- PRO TIP: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to make it easier to work with.
- Place the fresh basil leaves on top so they cover the cream cheese.
- Gently, wrap the prosciutto, cream cheese, and basil leaves around the chicken breast and grind a little pepper on top.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes (depending on how large the chicken breast is) at 380 F (190 C).
- When the chicken is done, take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
