Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breast (Low Carb and Gluten Free)

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.

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!
