Ingredients
- 2-4 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 4 oz spreadable cheese I used Laughing Cow sun dried tomato mozzarella
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella finely shredded
- 2-4 large slices prosciutto
- 10-12 cherry tomatoes
- Fresh ground pepper or other herbs as desired
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F
- Pound your chicken breasts into thinner filets (so you can roll them later). It's a good idea to put the chicken between parchment paper or saran wrap while pounding. Filets should be about a half inch thick. You could also cut each filet down the center length wise to make them thinner.
- Spread the chicken with a thick layer of spreadable cheese. boursin is great. this time i used the laughing cow cheese; mozzarella and sun-dried tomato. its low fat and FANTASTIC. put some shredded mozzarella cheese and herbs on the chicken as well. just pile it on. the cheesier the better.
- roll the chicken, making sure the ends are on the bottom.
- wrap the chicken rolls in one to two slices of prosciutto
- place the rolls in your baking dish (be sure to grease or spray the dish), place roma tomatoes around the chicken. as many as you want.
- cook for 40-50 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. (you can cut into the chicken and make sure that it is white all the way through)
- if you want to make a sauce...after youâ??re finished cooking, you can pour the leftover juices from you baking dish into a separate pan. Add the whipping cream and white wine. i like to add a little more boursin as well. simmer in the pan while whipping for a couple of minutes to make a delicious sauce.
- serve with asparagus or with rice OR with pasta.
