Ingredients
- Olive oil as needed
- 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 1/4 lb. fresh goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, about 1 1/2 lb. total
- 4 large thin slices prosciutto or cooked ham
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 400°F (200°C). Oil a shallow baking dish just large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer.
- In a bowl, mix together the spinach, goat cheese and Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place each chicken breast on a work surface. Holding a sharp knife parallel to the work surface, cut each breast in half lengthwise almost all the way through. Spread one-fourth of the spinach-cheese mixture in the center of each breast. Fold the chicken breast closed and season with salt and pepper. Wrap 1 prosciutto slice tightly around each chicken breast and place in the prepared dish.
- Bake until the prosciutto is crisp and the chicken is opaque throughout, about  20 minutes. Serve directly from the dish. Serves 4.
