Stuffed Chicken Breast

Ingredients:

• 2 – boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 6 – 8 slices proscuitto
• 1 orange pepper
• 1 small ball mozzarella cheese – cut in slices
• salt and pepper
• kitchen twine

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Roast pepper on stove top or oven. Place in Ziploc bag to cool. Wipe off excess char and de-seed. Cut in half.
3. Pound chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thick as evenly as possible **
4. Layer the flattened chicken breasts with the 1/2 roasted pepper each, 1/2 of the prosciutto slices each, 1/2 the mozzarella each. Roll tightly and secure roll with kitchen twine (I precut 3 strands for each breast in advance of rolling).
5. Salt and pepper the chicken rolls
6. Place on baking sheet and bake at 350 for 25 to 30 minutes
7. Let rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut and serve.

**Note: to keep the kitchen counters as clean as possible I line the counter with a couple of pieces of parchment paper and use another sheet on top of the chicken to keep splatter contained.

Another note: add vegetables to the roasting pan and then you will have a complete on pan meal.
