Herb Stuffed Chicken Wrapped in Prosciutto



It has been lovely having fresh herbs at my finger tips. I only shop once a week, and usually buy 2 bunches of basil and one of parsley. The last few days of the week, the herbs wilt and go off. It has been great to have the Gourmet Garden herb pastes in the fridge, fresh and ready to go. TBone has mentioned how much more flavour the dishes have had - might be something in that!

So to continue the recipes using Gourmet Garden herbs, today's post is herb stuffed chicken, wrapped in Prosciutto. This is another one of those meals that is quick and simple, but packs a bang and seems a bit posh.




Ingredients - for 2 people
2 chicken breasts
1 Tbsp Gourmet Garden's Chunky Garlic
1 Tbsp Gourmet Garden's Parsley
1 Tbsp Gourmet Garden's Basil
180g light cream cheese
150 g feta cheese crumbled
1 packet prosciutto - usually 6 strips


Veges to serve


Method
1. Pre-heat oven to 180 degrees C (fan-forced) 
2. Mix together the herbs, garlic, cream cheese and feta. 
3. Flatten chicken breast to 0.5cm thick - I do this with the chicken under some cling film with a meat tenderiser 
4. Scoop half the herb mixture onto the chicken and roll up - repeat with the other breast
5. Wrap the chicken roll in 3 strips of prosciutto and secure ends with toothpicks and place in a pan over a low heat to lightly brown off.
6. Place on a baking tray and cook in the oven for 25 minutes, turning once
7. Serve with your choice of veges
Could do with some food styling help, but you get the idea!
I also served with a small amount of some tomato pasta sauce I had left over, but it is quite juicy, so doesn't really need it.
