Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 2 shallots, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¾ cup soft goat cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ (8 ounce) package cream cheese
- 6 figs, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
- 12 large, thin slices prosciutto
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil on a baking sheet.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir shallots until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper into shallots; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer shallot mixture to a bowl; stir in goat cheese, mozzarella cheese, cream cheese, figs, and basil until well combined.
- Pound each chicken breast on a work surface until thin. Spoon about 1/4 cup goat cheese mixture onto the middle of each piece of chicken. Roll chicken around the filling and wrap 2 pieces prosciutto around each chicken roll, covering the opening with 1 layer of prosciutto. Place chicken rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes; turn chicken and continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let chicken stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Reviews
I made the recipe exactly as indicated. My family loved it. I may add a couple more figs next time to increase that flavor. A very savory dish. Will definitely make it again.
