Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Pesto Chicken with Prosciutto.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C) and give your baking dish a light greasing to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Generously spread about 2 tablespoons of fragrant basil pesto over each chicken breast, ensuring every inch is coated for maximum flavor.
Step 3
Next, wrap each chicken breast snugly with slices of prosciutto, enveloping them completely to lock in moisture and enhance taste.
Step 4
Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped chicken in the greased baking dish, making sure they have enough space to cook evenly.
Step 5
Slide the dish into the oven and let it bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, the juices run clear, and the prosciutto has developed a delightful crispness.
Step 6
Enjoy the savory aroma that fills your kitchen as this dish transforms into a mouthwatering masterpiece.
