Let’s face it, boneless, skinless chicken breast can sometimes be bland. These skewers get a major flavor boost from wrapping the chicken in thin slices of prosciutto.

| Active: | 30 min |
| Yield: | 4 servings |
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil, for the grill
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 24 pieces (about 1 1/2 inches each)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white or red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 4 ounces Fontina cheese, cut into 24 cubes (about 1/2 inch each)
- 24 thin slices prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
Instructions
- Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Toss the chicken with the olive oil, vinegar, rosemary, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt in a large bowl. Place a cheese cube on a piece of chicken and wrap tightly with a slice of prosciutto. Repeat with the remaining cheese, chicken and prosciutto.
- Thread the chicken bundles onto eight 10-inch skewers along with the tomatoes. Grill the kebabs, covered, turning occasionally, until the prosciutto is crisp and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Very delicious and easy. I cut the chicken into small pieces as suggested.
made a pocket in a whole chicken breast to stuff cheese wrap with prosciutto and grilled. didn’t mess with small bites! Yummy.
It’s a delicious bite! Cut chicken into about 1 inch pieces and cut small cubes of cheese for easier prep. I pounded the chicken a bit before cutting into pieces. Skewer through the cheese! I used Gouda instead of Fontina, and I marinated the chicken for a few hours before grilling.
This was a hit with my grandson. He helped prepare the recipe and he gave it a 10!
Absolutely delicious you can tell there is Rosemary but I learned to cut the chicken into smaller pieces so that the prosciutto wouldn’t burn. Next time I do this I’m going to make even smaller pieces to toss into some pasta or alongside some seasoned rice. Over all my husband and I thought it was tasty
Easy to make I always wrap honeydew slices with prosciutto and marinate in a cilantro Meyer lemon sauce this meal is a welcome change thanks!!!
Delicious! A bit hard to keep assembled, so next time I’ll insert a toothpick to keep the prosciutto, chicken, and cheese together.
The end result was really scrumptious. But I (like others) found them messy to build. I ended up doing individual bites with toothpicks to hold them together. Again, they were tasty enough I would make again but prepare for messy, slippery making of them.
Pain to wrap then skewer. Turned out overly smokey on a charcoal grill.
Made this tasted goood but turned out to be a hot mess!
