Prosciutto wrapped Chicken with Peaches
Stuffed chicken wrapped in prosciutto is a flavorful combination of perfectly seasoned chicken topped with gruyere cheese and wrapped in salty prosciutto. The chicken is baked in the oven with peaches, a touch of brown sugar, and butter to form a delicious pan sauce that adds a sweet and savory touch.
Equipment
- 12-inch cast iron pan
Ingredients
- 2 Chicken Breasts, (cut in half)
- 8 slices Prosciutto, (more may be needed depending on the size of the chicken breasts)
- 1 cup Gruyere cheese, (shredded)
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
- 3 Peaches, (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic, (diced)
- 2 tbsps Brown Sugar
- 4 tbsps Salted Butter
- 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 tbsp Chicken Stock
- 3 tbsp Sour Cream
- Basil, (for garnish)
- Burrata, (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- Use a sharp knife to cut chicken breast in in half, lengthwise (down the side of the chicken). Season chicken with onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Top with shredded Gruyere cheese and wrap with pieces of prosciutto.
- Place prosciutto-wrapped chicken to a 12-inch cast iron pan (or any ovenproof skillet). Add sliced peaches, diced garlic, brown sugar, and sliced butter all over the chicken. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked (the internal temperature should be 165 degrees F at the thickest part of the breast with a meat thermometer)
- Remove peaches and chicken from the skillet and place skillet on stove over medium-high heat - don't drain grease! Add in chicken stock and allow juices to reduce and thicken, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and add dijon mustard and sour cream, be sure to get those browned bits off of the bottom of the pan (that's where all of the flavor is!). Whisk until combined.
- Pour on top of chicken and peaches. Optional, but highly recommend - top with a little basil and burrata.
Notes
Tips for Success
- Use firm peaches, softer peaches will become mushy in the oven.
- If it's no longer peach season, opt for using pears instead!
- For a bit of spice, add in some red pepper flakes!
- If you can't find prosciutto, opt for thin cut bacon as a close substitute.
- I recommend using an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness of the chicken.
