Recipe

Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 35 mins Ready Time: 1 hr


• preheat an oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. cook the leek and garlic in the melted butter until the leek softens and the garlic turns translucent, about 5 minutes. remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the gouda until melted. divide the cheese mixture among the chicken breasts; roll the chicken around the filling. wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto, and secure with toothpicks. place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
• cook the chicken breasts until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees f (74 degrees c). remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
