Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons pesto, or more to taste
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, or more to taste
6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 teaspoons flavor-enhancing salt and vegetable seasoning (such as Vegeta®), or to taste
12 slices prosciutto

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Mix spinach, feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, pesto, and garlic together in a bowl until well combined.
  • Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Pound chicken using a meat tenderizer until it is about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons filling into breasts and form into little bundles. Sprinkle each with vegetable seasoning. Wrap 2 pieces prosciutto around each chicken breast. Place in a shallow baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the centers, about 20 minutes more. Remove from the oven.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Return chicken to the oven and broil for an additional 5 minutes.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! The pesto and spinach filling was a bit too salty for my taste, but overall it was a good dish.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was dry and the filling was bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.
