How To Make Cheese and Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breasts

4. Next, heat a skillet and add the olive oil, once heated add the chicken breasts and sear each side until golden brown.
5. Now, deglaze the pan with white wine and chicken broth and simmer for a couple of minutes.
6. Once that’s done, transfer your skillet into the oven and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Tips For The Best Results

• Use a very sharp knife to cut a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast.
