How to Make Edam And Tomato Chicken Parcels

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Remove the small fillet from the underside of each chicken breast (approximately 1 ounce total) and set aside.
  2. Using a sharp knife, make a vertical cut down the length of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Create a pocket.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 4 ounces cubed Edam cheese, 2 ounces chopped semi-dried tomatoes, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, and season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Spoon the Edam mixture evenly into each chicken breast pocket.
  5. Fold over the flaps of the pocket and secure with the reserved chicken fillets using toothpicks.
  6. Wrap each chicken breast with 2-3 slices of prosciutto (approximately 4 ounces total).
  7. Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken parcels for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the chicken parcels to a baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
  9. Remove toothpicks. Slice each chicken breast in half diagonally and serve immediately with your favorite side dish. Roasted vegetables or a simple salad are excellent choices.
