Recipe: Mixed Up Chicks (herb cream cheese stuffed chicken breasts wrapped in prosciutto)

MIXED UP CHICKS

4 skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons pesto
5 ounces garlic and herb flavored cream cheese
8 strips prosciutto
Olive oil
1 lemon, cut in wedges

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise almost all the way through. Open out. Spread the insides of two breasts with pesto, two with the garlic & herb flavored cheese. Close them up.

Wrap a couple of slices of prosciutto roughly around the outside of each one, and lay them in a baking dish.

Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Add lemon wedges. Scatter basil over the top.

Bake for 30 minutes. Eat hot, warm, or cold. Slice up and share.
