Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 prosciutto slices
• 4 oz fresh mozzarella (optional)
• ¼ cup fresh basil leaves (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp balsamic glaze (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Pat chicken breasts dry. Season each breast with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. If using, make a slit in the side of each chicken breast and stuff with mozzarella and basil.
4. Wrap each seasoned chicken breast with two slices of prosciutto, ensuring it's fully covered.
5. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the wrapped chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until prosciutto is slightly crispy.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired before serving.
