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.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe figs. Look for figs that are plump and have a deep purple color.
- If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs. Just be sure to soak them in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
- Use a variety of prosciutto for different flavors. For a classic flavor, use Italian prosciutto. For a sweeter flavor, use Spanish prosciutto. And for a smokier flavor, use American prosciutto.
- If you don't have time to make the balsamic glaze, you can use store-bought balsamic vinegar. Just be sure to reduce it by half over medium heat.
- Serve the prosciutto-wrapped fig hearts immediately, while they are still warm and the cheese is melted.
Conclusion:
Prosciutto-wrapped fig hearts are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in just a few minutes. The combination of sweet figs, salty prosciutto, and creamy cheese is irresistible. Serve them with a balsamic glaze for an extra touch of flavor.
