Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 60 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, melted
• 1 Whole leek, sliced
• 1 Clove garlic, minced
• 8 Ounces (oz) smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
• 4 Whole skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, tenderized
• 4 Thin slices prosciutto
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) olive oil
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) dried thyme
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) lemon zest, zested

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the leeks and garlic, cooking until the leeks are soft and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the shredded smoked Gouda until melted and well combined.
3. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and lemon zest. Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, placing it in the center. Roll each chicken breast around the filling.
4. Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto, securing with toothpicks if necessary. Place the chicken seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Drizzle olive oil over the wrapped chicken breasts to help crisp the prosciutto.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
