Equipment
- Sharp knife — for cutting pockets into the chicken breasts
- Cutting board — for preparing chicken and ingredients
- Small mixing bowl — for mixing the feta stuffing
- Spoon — for stuffing the chicken breasts
- Oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan — for searing and baking the chicken
- Tongs — for turning the chicken while searing
- Measuring cups and spoons — for accurate ingredient portions
- Meat thermometer — to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C)
- Toothpicks (optional) — to secure the stuffed chicken if needed
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped, optional for a flavor boost
- 2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley chopped
- black pepper freshly ground
- 8 to 12 prosciutto slices about 2 per chicken breast
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the stuffing: In a small bowl, mix the feta, sun-dried tomatoes (if using), and chopped herbs.
- Cut the chicken: Carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast (don’t cut all the way through). Stuff each pocket with a couple of tablespoons of the feta mixture. Season with black pepper.
- Wrap with prosciutto: Lay two slices of prosciutto on a cutting board slightly overlapping. Place the stuffed chicken breast on top and wrap the prosciutto around it, securing the filling and sealing the meat.
- Sear: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side, until the prosciutto is crispy.
- Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).
For the juiciest prosciutto-wrapped feta-stuffed chicken breast, always sear the chicken first to lock in moisture and create a crispy, golden prosciutto crust, then finish baking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for a perfectly tender, high-protein Mediterranean chicken dinner.
Notes
- This prosciutto-wrapped feta-stuffed chicken breast recipe is best made with evenly sized chicken breasts for consistent cooking and juicy results.
- For the most flavorful Mediterranean stuffed chicken, use high-quality block feta instead of pre-crumbled cheese for a creamier, richer filling.
- The crispy prosciutto chicken breast texture comes from properly searing before baking—don’t skip this step for maximum flavor and crunch.
- Sun-dried tomatoes are optional but add a delicious sweet and tangy Mediterranean flavor boost to the feta stuffing.
- Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your easy baked stuffed chicken recipe reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy and tender for the perfect restaurant-style chicken dinner at home.
- This high-protein low-carb chicken recipe is naturally gluten-free and ideal for keto-friendly meal planning.
- Leftovers are perfect for meal prep and can be sliced over salads, bowls, or wraps for quick healthy chicken lunch ideas.
