1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil over a baking sheet.
2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the shallots until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper into the shallots; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer the shallot mixture to a bowl; stir in the goat cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, figs, and basil until well combined.
3

Pound each chicken breast on a work surface until thin. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the goat cheese mixture onto the center of each piece of chicken. Roll the chicken around the filling and wrap 2 pieces of prosciutto around each chicken roll, covering the opening with 1 layer of prosciutto. Place the chicken rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
4

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; turn the chicken and continue baking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let the chicken stand for 5 minutes before serving.
