Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken Breasts.jpg

This recipe comes from Chrissy Teigen’s fantastic cookbook, Cravings.  I spent a month cooking from her cookbook because every recipe just looked soooo good.  I’ve adjusted the amounts for the filling because I like it a little gooier and bacony-er.  Lemons have a way of ending up in about 75% of my food and I love the way the flavor brightens up this dish.  Oregano is definitely an acquired taste (which I suggest you acquire!), but feel free to omit or substitute with another herb if you like.

Description

Here’s a great make-ahead dinner!  Stuff chicken breasts with an herby cheese mixture with bacon, wrap in prosciutto and bake off when ready!  A few herbs and cherry tomatoes add more substance to the dish.


Ingredients

Scale

FOR THE FILLING:

  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3 ounces goat cheese, softened
  • 1 ounce finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped (about 3 to 4 sprigs)
  • 1/2 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped (about 1 sprig)
  • Zest of one small lemon, or 1/2 a large lemon
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 slices bacon

FOR THE CHICKEN:

  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Fresh thyme and oregano sprigs

Instructions

  1. Mix together the cream cheese, goat cheese, garlic, thyme and oregano in a small mixing bowl.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°.  Lay the bacon slices on a small baking sheet and bake for 14-18 minutes, until crisp.  Chop or crumble by hand and add to the filling when cooled enough to touch.
  3. Place one chicken breast in a gallon-size plastic bag and pound with a meat mallet until about 1/2-inch thick.  Don’t worry if you have any tears or other imperfections; you’re going to wrap this in sweet, sweet prosciutto, which will cover it all up).  Season with salt and pepper.  Repeat with the remaining chicken breast.
  4. Spread the filling in the middle of the chicken breasts, parallel to the longer side of the chicken.  Roll each chicken breast, starting from a long side.  Lay the prosciutto slices out, to roughly match the size of the rolled chicken breast, and slightly overlapping.  Lay the chicken in the middle and wrap the prosciutto around.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of bacon fat to a large cast-iron skillet and place the chicken breast in the center. Scatter the tomatoes around the chicken and place both lemon halves in the skillet.  Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place the herb sprigs on top.  Bake for about 30 minutes.  Let the chicken cool slightly before slicing and serving.  Serve with the tomatoes and juice from the pan.

I love good food.

If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970 If you think stuffed mushrooms are a relic of 1970s dinner parties, let me introduce you to the glow-up you didn’t know you needed. These Manchego-Stuffed Mushrooms with Chorizo Breadcrumbs are rich, crispy, and dangerously poppable—so much so that you might accidentally eat an entire tray while “taste-testing.” (Not speaking from experience. Definitely not.)

They’re easy enough for a casual get-together but fancy enough to pretend you have your life together. Perfect for parties, holidays, or a Tuesday night when you need a snack that’s extra.

I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in I know what you’re thinking: squash blossoms in late September? Am I out of my mind? Maybe. But hear me out. I found the best-looking squash blossoms I’ve ever come across at the farmer’s market on Saturday, and they were $5 for 3 big bunches and the sweet corn stand was still going on the corner, so you can’t expect me to pass that up. I’ve been waiting to recreate a dish I had at @monteverdechi in Chicago last month, so here we are…with a recipe…for squash blossoms…with sweet corn…in almost October.

I get it—it’s technically the end of squash blossom season, but if you’re lucky, you might still find a stash at your local farmers’ market or, dare I say it, a friendly neighbor’s garden (or your own?). Either way, if you can track some down, these Crab and Ricotta-Stuffed Squash Blossoms are worth the hunt. Trust me, you’ll want to savor every last bite of this seasonal gem. I can easily take down five or six of these.

Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound s Lettuce wraps are one of those dishes that sound simple, but when done right, they pack a punch of flavor that’ll leave you wondering why you don’t make them more often. These Spicy Coconut Chicken Lettuce Wraps are no exception. Sure, they’ve got a few more ingredients than the quick weeknight dinner you might be looking for, but trust me, the payoff is huge. With layers of spicy green curry, creamy coconut, tangy pickled veggies, and two ridiculously good sauces, these wraps are a sensory experience in every bite. Whether you’re a fan of the lettuce wraps at P.F. Chang’s or you’ve fallen in love with the spicy, herb-packed flavors of Thai larb, this recipe is going to blow your mind (in the best way possible). 

Plus, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the ingredient list, I’ve got tips on how to split this into a two-day cooking adventure—because let’s be real, no one wants to spend five hours in the kitchen on a weekday.

Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire tre Let’s talk s’mores—the ultimate campfire treat: graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows, perfectly toasted over an open flame, leaving your fingers sticky and your soul satisfied. But, sometimes, the outdoors isn’t calling or you want to make them on a larger scale, and making a bonfire in your kitchen is frowned upon. That’s where these S’mores Bars with Toasted Marshmallow Meringue come in. They’re a modern twist on a campfire classic. They’re a perfect make-ahead dessert for parties, tailgates, and bake sales.

We’re taking all the nostalgic flavors of your childhood camping trips and leveling them up—big time. These bars start with a buttery graham cracker crust, are layered with fudgy brownie goodness, topped with rich chocolate ganache, and finished with a cloud of toasted marshmallow meringue. And the best part? You can enjoy these babies without having to swat away a single mosquito. No joke—last time I had a bonfire and made s’mores, my cousin and I came away with over 50 mosquito bites collectively.

Have guests coming over and need to impress withou Have guests coming over and need to impress without resorting to the old standby recipes? Spicy Lobster Pasta with Sungold Tomato Sauce is the kind of dish that says, “I went all out for you”—because, let’s be real, lobster isn’t exactly a budget-friendly ingredient. But when company’s coming, it’s time to pull out the stops. This pasta is decadent, rich, and bursting with fresh summer flavors, thanks to sweet Sungold tomatoes and a luxurious mascarpone-laden sauce. It’s a little spicy, a lot indulgent, and just the thing to make your guests feel like they’re dining at a five-star restaurant—without anyone realizing you’re secretly glad to have an excuse to splurge.

When it comes to dessert, I think that combining f When it comes to dessert, I think that combining fruit with a crispy, buttery topping and serving with vanilla ice cream is one of the most satisfying ways to enjoy the season’s best produce. But let’s be real, there’s always room for improvement. Enter: Salted Caramel Peach Crisp. The salty-sweet, slightly bitter caramel plays off the peaches so well. This dish is the perfect marriage of sweet, juicy peaches and a rich, salty caramel sauce, all crowned with a crisp topping that’s just begging to be devoured.
