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.

This is a yummy change to standard Angel Food cake. It has a light and delicate flavor and hits the spot of that chocolate craving.

How to Make Pico de Gallo
Sometimes when you eat authentic Mexican food, they give you this salsa stuff made with tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños. You can add a squeeze of lime juice to pico de gallo, but I prefer this basic recipe. Once you serve this with your Mexican dish such as tacos, you will want it with all your Mexican dishes!
