Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breast (Low Carb and Gluten Free)

September 21, 2012 By Karen Sorenson

I always like coming up with different ways to eat chicken breast.  Chicken is one of my favorite foods and even though I try to add some variety to my meals and try different cuts of meat I almost always go back to chicken.  Boneless, skinless chicken breast is so versatile and it is the star of this semi-fancy dish.

I used the following ingredients for Low Carb Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breast:

6 thin cut boneless skinless chicken breast
3-4 slices of Prosciutto
1 3/4 cups of chicken stock, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 sprigs of fresh Thyme
1 tsp Dijon mustard

Place half a slice of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast.  Starting from the smaller end roll the chicken to the wider end.  Secure the chicken with kitchen twine or toothpicks.  Heat 1-2 Tbsp of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.  Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on all sides.  Add 1 1/4 cups of the chicken stock (scrapping the browned bits of the bottom of the pan).  Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.  Remove the chicken and keep warm.  Add the remaining chicken stock (1/2 cup), garlic, and the leaves from the thyme sprigs.  Cook for 1-2 minutes or until reduced.  Add the Dijon mustard and stir to combine.  Serve the sauce over the chicken.

Served with steamed broccoli.

Net Carb Count*:

*Note carb counts are estimated based on the products I used. Check nutrition labels for accurate carb counts and gluten information.Comments: If you do not have thin cut chicken breasts, regular can be used, but pound the chicken to about 1/4-1/2″ thickness.  It was much easier for me to just use thin cut.  Also, if you eat dairy it would be great with a piece of Swiss cheese rolled into the chicken.  It was almost like a Chicken Cordon Bleu.  The Dijon mustard adds a lot of flavor and creaminess to the sauce.  It’s just perfect over the chicken.

Enjoy!
