This recipe is so good and surprisingly easy. The chicken comes out of the oven crispy yet stays moist with an indulgent filling. Chicken can be stuffed and wrapped the night before; ideal for entertaining! I like to serve this with pasta or with mashed potatoes and a quick pan gravy. Carbohydrate conscious? This recipe also goes great with a salad of mixed greens and vinaigrette.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup soft goat cheese
3 dates, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 large, thin slices of prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a baking sheet, and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallots, and cook until they turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook and stir an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the shallot mixture to a bowl. Mix in the goat cheese, dates, and basil; stir until well combined.
  • With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch long slit into the thick side of each chicken breast. Work your fingers into the slit, and expand the slit to form a pocket in the breast meat. With your fingers or a spoon, stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 cup of the goat cheese mixture. Wipe off any cheese mixture from the outside of the chicken breast, and wrap each breast in a slice of prosciutto so that the pocket opening is covered. Place the chicken breasts, seam sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken meat is no longer pink and the prosciutto is browned and crisp, about 40 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over after 20 minutes.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 shallots, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¾ cup soft goat cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
6 figs, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
12 large, thin slices prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallots until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper into shallots; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer shallot mixture to a bowl; stir in goat cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, figs, and basil until well combined.
  • Pound each chicken breast on a work surface until thin. Spoon about 1/4 cup goat cheese mixture onto the middle of each piece of chicken. Roll chicken around the filling and wrap 2 pieces prosciutto around each chicken roll, covering the opening with 1 layer of prosciutto. Place chicken rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; turn chicken and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let chicken stand for 5 minutes before serving.

GRILLED PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED FIGS STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE

Provided by Anne Burrell

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 Black Mission figs, cut in 1/2
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar, plus extra for dressing
Crushed red pepper flakes, optional
12 slices prosciutto
1/2 log goat cheese
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups baby arugula
1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved with a vegetable peeler
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill and brush with a grill brush to remove any excess crud and fat. After brushing, run an oiled towel over the grates to pick up any loosened crud or soot.
  • Drizzle each fig half with vinegar and fill each fig center with goat cheese. Sprinkle a couple flakes of crushed red pepper, if using, on top of the goat cheese and wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto. Paint the outside of each fig very lightly with olive oil.
  • Put the figs on a cooler spot of the preheated grill. The idea here is that we want to grill the figs gently to cook the fig all the way through but to still get the char on the outside. Grill the figs on all sides so the prosciutto is starting to become crispy and the fig feels soft when squeezed, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  • While the figs are grilling, in a large bowl, toss the arugula with a little extra-virgin olive oil, some balsamic vinegar and the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Taste, and add salt, if needed. Arrange on individual serving plates or a serving platter and top with the figs. Drizzle a couple of drops of balsamic on each fig and serve.
  • Its figgy delicious!

4 large figs, quartered
4 tablespoons goat cheese
1 (3 ounce) package prosciutto
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

  • Take a prosciutto slice and tear in half. Use 1 half to diagonally wrap around the fig, starting from the top. Tuck underneath at the ends. Repeat until all figs are wrapped. (Secure with toothpicks if necessary.) Place wrapped figs on prepared baking sheet, evenly spaced.

  • Place in the oven on the top rack and roast for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, fresh figs: The sweetness and flavor of the figs will greatly impact the dish, so select ripe, plump figs that are free of blemishes.
  • Use good quality prosciutto: Prosciutto is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a high-quality variety that has a good flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if overcooked, so be careful not to cook them for too long. A meat thermometer is a helpful tool to ensure that the chicken is cooked to the proper internal temperature.
  • Let the chicken rest before slicing: Once the chicken is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.

Conclusion:

Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken with Figs and Goat Cheese is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The combination of salty prosciutto, sweet figs, and creamy goat cheese is simply irresistible. With a little planning and preparation, this dish can be easily made at home.
