SHEET PAN PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED CHICKEN RECIPE

And here is another of my sheet pan suppers that I have been making.  2nd man loves it so if I can return the pleasure of serving him something wonderful, that's a good thing. 

Chicken breasts, boneless/skinless (we used 2)

2 -3 slices of prosciutto PER breast

2 slices of provolone PER breast

2 tsp Dijon mustard PER breast

1 lb asparagus, trimmed

1/2 lb cherry tomatoes

olive oil, salt and pepper

Chicken breasts seasoned

For us, we just did two. These are two boneless/skinless chicken breasts.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.  No oil needed at this point.  

Here comes the fun part.  You need about two or three slices of prosciutto, depending on the the size of your breasts.  Besides that sentence not sounding at all like I intended it to, you lay out the prosciutto, overlapping them a bit and then top that with two pieces of provolone cheese, also overlapping.   

Now I missed a photo but take a look at this one.  You take the breasts and coat the top of each one with about 2 tsp of Dijon mustard (you can see one of them like that in the corner of this picture).  Then place one of the breasts, mustard side down, on top of the prosciutto/cheese and wrap it up. Almost like wrapping a package.

You want to tuck the ends of the ham under the breast and place the wrapped chicken package on the sheet pan, seam side down.  

Asparagus

Meanwhile, take some asparagus, we used 1 lb.  Toss with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste.  You can use red pepper flakes if you want a bit of spiciness. I've been known to sprinkle a bit of garlic powder. 

Cherry tomatoes

This is about 1/2 lb of cherry tomatoes, also tossed with olive oil, salt and pepper.  

Sheet pan with chicken and vegetables

Place all on a sheet pan in an even layer and place into a preheated 425 degree oven.  

Sheet pan prosciutto wrapped chicken and vegetables

Roast for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is done.  If the breasts are thick, they might need to cook longer than the vegetables so just keep an eye on it all.  We don't mind if our veggies are nice and roasted.

It's more flavor!

  

Sheet pan supper

Take out and serve!

Meat and veggies are all done (more or less) at once.  The prosciutto becomes crispy and has infused some flavor into the chicken, the cheese is melted and the vegetables are roasted.  It's a great melding of flavors and looks pretty on the plate to boot!
