Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh ricotta
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  • 8 to 10 fresh sage leaves, very thinly sliced
  • Splash of milk or half-and-half
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • 8 slices prosciutto di Parma
  • EVOO, for drizzling
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 cup panko
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
  • A few handfuls arugula (1 bunch), stemmed
  • 4 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced lengthwise

Directions

Combine the ricotta, 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, sage and milk and season with salt.

Butterfly each chicken breast, cutting horizontally into the thickest part of the breast almost all the way through to the other side (keeping the breast attached on one side). Open each breast like a book and pound to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick using the flat side of a meat mallet. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Place a spoonful of the ricotta mixture in the center of each chicken breasts, then fold the chicken over to enclose the filling. Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices prosciutto, overlapping them slightly. Wrap each chicken breast in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Unwrap the chicken breasts and place on a rimmed baking sheet or shallow baking dish. Drizzle with EVOO, then bake until the chicken is cooked through and the prosciutto is crisp, 20 to 25 minutes.

While the chicken bakes, heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the panko and thyme and cook, stirring, until the panko is golden. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Divide the chicken among plates. Arrange the arugula alongside the chicken and top the arugula with the tomatoes and garlic breadcrumbs.

Cook's Note: The stuffed chicken breasts can be refrigerated for up to 2 days before cooking.

    OMG I love this one and so does my family. The only problem I had was it called for 1/2 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano in the ingredients but in the directions you were told to use 1/4 cup. I made it both ways and really there was no difference but couldn't figure out if I missed something or not. I am trying to teach my daughters how to cook by reading the directions completly....... Still great job on this one and a must do meal that is quick and easy for us busy Mom's.

    This recipe is amazing ! But, I used mozzerela and cheddar cheese and I used ham instead of prosciutto.
