Substitutions and Ingredient tips
I pair this with simple roasted zucchini, and baking it in the same tray means it soaks up some of the tasty chicken juices and makes a nice easy side dish.
I have been buying my Camembert from Aldi lately and it is delicious, really creamy and smooth. If you are in Australia, here’s the one I have been buying: Aldi Camembert
You can mix up the stuffings to your liking – sometimes I use sundried tomatoes, some olives or some different fresh herbs depending on what is in my garden.
You could also replace the prosciutto with other cured meats. I have made this easy keto dinner with bacon wrapped around as well – yum!
Tips for making Prosciutto & Camembert Stuffed Chicken
Depending on the size of your chicken breast, this will usually take 25 – 35 minutes to cook through.
I strongly suggest investing in a meat thermometer so you can whip it out of the oven just as it hits 75 degrees, resulting in perfectly juicy chicken every time.
Wrapping in prosciutto helps it keep even more moist!
- PREHEAT OVEN Preheat the oven to 190C / 374F and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- PREPARE CHICKEN Prepare the chicken breasts by cutting a pock in the top of each one and dividing the camembert into 4 thick slices. Stuff the camembert and halved cherry tomatoes into each pocket and push closed.
- ASSEMBLE THE INGREDIENTS Lay 3 slices of prosciutto on a chopping board, slightly overlapping and sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon of dried basil. Place the chicken breast at the end and roll the prosciutto around it tightly, tucking loose edges underneath. Place on the prepared baking tray and repeat for the remaining 3 chicken breasts.
- PREPARE ZUCCHINI If using, slice the zucchini into 1cm slices and toss with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Lay around the chicken breasts on the baking tray. If you prefer crispier zucchini, use a separate baking tray.
- BAKE Bake for 25 – 35 minutes or until the thickest part of the chicken breast just reaches 75 degrees on a meat thermometer.
- SERVE Remove from the oven and serve with the roasted zucchini.
This would also be great served with my Warm Bacon Broccoli Salad or any other simple keto friendly side.
There is a heap of healthy fats in the chicken already so it can be filling on its own! Being an easy keto dinner, sometimes I’ll even just steam some broccoli to serve with it.
Storage tips
- Fridge: You can keep your leftover Prosciutto & Camembert Stuffed Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- Freezer: It is also freezer-friendly for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. I suggest reheating in the oven to get the prosciutto crispy again.
