Ingredients
Method
- Gather ingredients and preheat oven to 400°F. If your chicken needs to be flattened out, pound it thinner with a mallet. Divide green beans into bundles equal to number of servings.
- Lay a piece of Swiss cheese and a bundle of green beans on top of each chicken slice. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Roll the chicken up then secure by wrapping with prosciutto, ensuring it’s snug.
- Place the chicken seam side down in the baking dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes, ensuring chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), then serve immediately.
Notes
– To ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked and safe to eat, always check its internal temperature. Poultry should reach 165°F (74°C) at its thickest part.
– For a make-ahead option, assemble the prosciutto chicken, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 5-10 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
