Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken In Sherry Cream Sauce Recipe

What’s in Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken?

Chicken breast is wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto, then cooked in the most delicious sauce and baked to perfection. It’s filled with garlic and rosemary for a nice savory flavor, then topped with parmesan to finish it off.

Chicken: Use large boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. Prosciutto: You’ll want large slices that wrap most of the way around the chicken, but you can overlap multiple slices if needed. Sherry: Use a dry or medium-dry cooking sherry for the sauce. You can substitute a dry white wine if needed. Sour Cream: This is what makes the sauce extra creamy. I like using a low-fat version, but you can use full-fat if you like. Garlic: Use 3 cloves, minced (or more if you love garlic). Rosemary: Rosemary has an intense, fragrant taste that adds great flavor to this dish. Salted Butter Olive Oil Salt & Pepper

Pro Tip: You can wrap your chicken in other cured meats, such as speck, ham, or bacon!

Variations on Chicken Wrapped in Prosciutto

This prosciutto wrapped chicken in sherry cream sauce is a simple, classic recipe. You can change it up in quite a few ways. Feel free to swap the prosciutto for a different cured meat or swap the chicken breasts for chicken thighs. You could also substitute the sour cream for Greek yogurt for a lighter, tangier flavor. Swap the rosemary for your favorite herb, such as sage, basil, or thyme, for a slightly different take. Make this dish spicier by adding a bit of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.

How to Store and Reheat Chicken Breast Wrapped with Prosciutto

Store leftover prosciutto wrapped chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes or on the stovetop set over medium-low heat until warmed through.

How to Freeze Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Breast

Freeze prosciutto wrapped chicken in an airtight container or Ziplock bag for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. I do not recommend freezing the sherry cream sauce, as it will turn grainy and separate as it thaws.
