quick dinners are becoming my new favorite go to for summer...
Quick dinners are becoming my new favorite thing. Sometimes I like creating dishes that are a labor of love and take all day to cook. However, as of late, I’ve been enjoying things that are a bit less timely with less steps but still taste amazing. This Prosciutto wrapped Chicken with Peaches is no different. It's quick and easy and SO delicious.
The chicken is seasoned and then topped with gruyere cheese. Then you wrap it with prosciutto! I could've stopped here because like yum - but because I'm a true sweet and savory girl at heart, I needed a fun and fresh sweet component. What did I add? Peaches! And a little brown sugar so that they'd caramelize in the oven.
where ths inspo come from for this Prosciutto wrapped Chicken with Peaches?
My Husband loves prosciutto and I wanted to do something special for him because all day yesterday, he helped me build my website – and boy was it difficult. For some reason, I was under the impression that building a website would be something time consuming but not “hard”. It's actually very hard. Like I see why people are paid to do this. I have a newfound respect for the craft through and through.
Anyway, I combined all of his favorite flavors to make this dish. And voila! Sheer perfection. Prosciutto wrapped Chicken with Peaches. He loved it. I loved it. Now it's your turn!
what do I need to make this dish?
A cast iron skillet and a few basic ingredients. I purchased the prosciutto from Balducci's, if you can't find prosciutto, they also sell it at most markets. I believe Target sells it as well!
