Grilled Prosciutto And Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 strips of prosciutto ham
4 slices provolone cheese
8 fresh basil leaves
Salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
italian seasoning to taste
Directions:
flatten the chicken breasts and trim any excess fat from the meat and cut off the small tenderloin flap if still attached.
Place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound the breast to a consistent 1/4" thickness.
Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder and italian seasoning over each flattened chicken breast.
Lay a strip of prosciutto over each breast.
Place a piece of provolone cheese over each strip of prosciutto and 2 basil leaves on top of the cheese.
Carefully roll up the stuffed breasts from the wide end to the narrower end.
Roll these as tightly as you can and tie with butchers twine.
Lightly rub the outside of the stuffed breasts with oil and season with kosher salt and black pepper.
Clean and oil the grates of the BBQ. Preheat the grill to 375F - 425F.
When grill reaches temperature place the stuffed chicken breasts on the grill.
Every 5 - 6 minutes lift the lid and roll the chicken breast over so each side gets grilled.
After 15 minutes or so the chicken should be cooked to 165F and can be removed from the grill.
