Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
4 oz spicy pepper jack cheese, sliced
8 slices prosciutto
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting horizontally through the thickest part, ensuring not to slice through completely.
3. Stuff each pocket with a slice of pepper jack cheese and two slices of prosciutto.
4. In a shallow bowl, mix flour with smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
5. Dip each stuffed chicken breast into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes.
7. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
