How to Make Easy Australian Stuffed Chicken W Prosciutto Sun Dried Tomato

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  4. Thinly slice 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained).
  5. Mince 2 cloves garlic.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil. Mix well.

  9. Place 2-3 slices of prosciutto, several red pepper strips, and a handful of sliced mushrooms inside each chicken breast.
  10. Close the chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks if necessary.

  12. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil.
  13. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
  14. Increase oven temperature to broil and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the tops are lightly browned. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  15. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite vegetables.
