A simple way to prepare chicken that looks like you spent a lot of time preparing. It can also be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until baked. Be sure to use a good quality pesto for best results. I like to serve it with pasta, but it is also nice sliced and served on a green salad.
Ingredients
- 4 skinless , boneless chicken breast halves
- 0.5 cups prepared basil pesto , divided
- 4 thins slices prosciutto , or more if needed
Instructions
-
1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
-
2
Spread about 2 tablespoons of pesto per chicken breast over the top of each breast, and wrap each breast in prosciutto slices to cover the entire breast. Place the wrapped chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink, the juices run clear, and the prosciutto is lightly crisped, about 25 minutes.

Sauerkraut Filling for Pierogi
A not-so-typical filling for yummy pierogis!
Roasted Pecan Banana Bread Loaves
I created this recipe for mini banana nut bread loaves with roasted pecans for my father. He loves bananas and pecans, so for his birthday this year, I baked mini banana-pecan loaves so he could enjoy one on his birthday and freeze the rest for later. The coconut extract really brings out the fresh banana flavor, trust me! It even intensifies the next day.
Breakfast Casserole with Hash Browns
This casserole with hash browns is my favorite breakfast recipe. I have used it for Christmas breakfast and have even brought it into work for a special treat. Family and co-workers love it and ask me for the recipe. Even though it has to set overnight, it is well worth the prep and wait!
