30-Minute Chicken Prosciutto Mozzarella Bake With Italian Flair

I live in Houston, and I have worked as a nurse. My interests include art, traveling, reading, gardening, cooking, and our wonderful pets.

Chicken Mozzarella ala Parma

Easy 30 Minute Prep Recipe

If you are looking for an easy recipe that can be made in 30 minutes and is a sure winner for company meals, then you have come to the right place.

Most often my husband does the cooking for our dinner parties and many times his recipes are quite intricate and involved and take a lot of time to execute. Sometimes he starts the process a day or two in advance depending upon the menu for that evening.

Some things actually improve and the flavors have a chance to blend and/or mellow by doing this. Soups are a good example. They can be served chilled or reheated, depending upon what is best, and finishing garnishes added at the last moment before serving.

It is nice to find an occasional recipe that is not only delicious but also simple and easy to make, and he has amassed some of those as well in his collection of recipes.

After trying a new recipe and following the directions exactly...my husband then likes to play around with it to see if he can come up with something new or make alterations, and this is how this easy chicken mozzarella recipe with Italian flair was created. It is quite different from the fish entrée which originally inspired it.

Mozzarella Cheese

This is one of the three ingredients aside from salt and pepper seasonings in this recipe.

You heard that right! You need only three ingredients to make this delicious dish.

This recipe calls for fresh mozzarella cheese and if you can locate it and if your budget allows buffalo mozzarella is the tastiest version.

Fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese comes from water buffalo milk instead of cows milk.

We purchase ours from Costco and it is sold in plastic containers with briny liquid surrounding the small balls of the fresh mozzarella, or in slightly larger containers where the mozzarella pieces are tightly wrapped in cellophane.

Prosciutto

Prosciutto di Parma is the second ingredient for this baked chicken recipe.

Prosciutto di Parma is the highest grade of this ham product and originates from Italy. There are other ham products labeled prosciutto but only those originating from a small area in Italy and meeting the highest of standards can be labeled as Prosciutto di Parma.

From the special diets of the pigs to how the ham legs are processed and the long aging time all account for the superior taste.

Most delicatessen departments in large grocery or specialty stores carry this prosciutto. Those of us with access to Costco stores such as we have in Houston, Texas are fortunate. We can get the real Prosciutto di Parma packages direct from Italy at a good price.

You don't need many slices for this chicken recipe so go ahead and splurge on this ingredient. You will be glad that you did!

Prosciutto di Parma...

Chicken Recipe

Our third and last prime ingredient is skinless boneless chicken breasts.

The first step is to wash them under running water and dry them completely with paper towels.

If they are large-sized chicken breasts (as many of them are) cut in half into nice sized portions. Then slice with a sharp knife in half length-wise not cutting through entirely...as is shown in the accompanying photo.

Lay them open and season them with salt and pepper to taste keeping in mind that the prosciutto is salty.

If using thin skinless boneless fillets of chicken you can skip this step. Just season one side of them with the salt and pepper.

Chicken Recipe Prep Photos

Chicken Mozzarella ala Parma

This is the appropriate name that my husband has come up with for this easy to assemble recipe since two of the three main ingredients come from Italy.

Directions:

The next assembly steps are so simple.

Just cut slices of the fresh mozzarella cheese and put appropriately sized pieces onto the chicken folding the top back over it as these photos demonstrate.

The next step is to simply roll the chicken and mozzarella in the paper thin slices of the prosciutto. One slice of prosciutto per chicken piece is more than sufficient.

Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Stuffed With Fresh Mozzarella

Place on baking sheets sprayed with Pam or lightly greased with some other product and place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until it is done.

When serving to a plate be sure and use all of any mozzarella cheese that oozes out of the chicken. It is delicious!

Chicken Mozzarella ala Parma Ready to Be Baked in the Oven

Be prepared for rave reviews from your family and friends when you make this simple 30-minute recipe using these simple but delicious ingredients.

Serve with accompanying vegetables and perhaps a starch of your choice as well as a crisp fresh salad for a nutritious and wholesome meal. Risotto and baked asparagus would be a good suggestion. But I'll leave the rest of the meal up to you to complete.

I hope you enjoy this chicken entrée recipe with definite Italian flair as much as we and our friends do! Buon appetito!

Please rate this recipe! Thanks!

So sorry to hear that Jay is ill and that Heston Wayne is in the hospital. It would be wonderful if it was for his much-needed bone marrow transplant. Take care. Sending good thoughts your way!

O my I am drooling I am sure I have seen this before and I know I must make it thank you for sharing Angels are on the way this afternoon I am with my Jay who is very sick this weekend It seems we cannot keep them all well at one time Hess was in hospital this week.

Hi Janisa,

The recipe could certainly be amended to suit your taste. Hope you enjoy it.

Janisa from Earth on August 19, 2018:

If it wasn't for the proscuito.... I'd probably have already made it.. I love the idea of combining chicken with cheese!

Maybe I'll just add a pepper or tomato slice on top if I do make it.

Thanks for sharing!

Holle Abee from Georgia on March 12, 2017:

Oh, wow...my mouth is watering! I'm def going to try this. The taste combo sounds amazing!

Peggy Woods on March 10, 2017:

Hi Catherine,

Since you love eating prosciutto you should truly like eating this easy and delicious chicken recipe. Enjoy!

Catherine Giordano from Orlando Florida on March 10, 2017:

Yum! I should not have read this while I was hungry. Thanks for this great idea for a quick and delicious meal. I love prosciutto.

Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on October 26, 2016:

Hi Susie,

This truly is delicious. I hope you get to try it sometime. If you have a deli near you, you can have them thinly slice a piece of prosciutto and give you a taste. You want it to be sliced paper thin if possible. A substitute if you cannot find prosciutto and do not wish to order it online would be very thinly sliced ham. Again...get it as thinly sliced as possible to replicate the prosciutto.

Susie Lehto from Minnesota on October 24, 2016:

Does that ever look good...delicious I bet! I don't think I have ever had Prosciutto, but I do want to try it. Wrapped around chicken with mozzarella sound like a real treat.

Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on April 19, 2015:

Hi Rebecca,

Not only does this chicken mozzarella dish look great...it tastes even better! :)) Thanks for your comment.

Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on April 19, 2015:

peachy from Home Sweet Home on April 19, 2015:

wow, it looks so good and worth $15 per plate! You can serve this dish in restaurant

Patricia Scott from North Central Florida on April 19, 2015:

Hi Peggy I know my family will ask me when I will make this for them a second time. I rarely cook such dishes for my self but when I want to try a fabulous recipe such as this, I provide dinner that night for my family. There is no doubt this will be a hit...all of the foods involved are favorites.

Angels are on the way to you this wee hour time of the morning ps

Hi Mary,

I think that you will really like this recipe when you give it a try. It makes a great company dish!

Mary Hyatt from Florida on January 05, 2015:

I have to admit I have never used Mozzarella like this. You taught me something new with this recipe. I've never used Prosciutto either! I will certainly try this recipe.

BTW: I can see why this Hub got HOTD.

Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on May 17, 2013:

Hi Suzanne,

The prosciutto is almost paper thin and of course has a different flavor. If you cannot obtain prosciutto, then I guess bacon would be the next best substitute. Just be prepared to drain it as it will put off a lot of bacon fat grease as it is baked. Not sure of the timing whether it would cook at the same time as the chicken. Guess you will have to experiment. Let me know if it works out, OK? Thanks for your comment and votes.

justmesuzanne from Texas on May 16, 2013:

That looks delicious and easy to do! I have to admit, I would probably use bacon instead of prosciutto, though! :) Voted up and useful!

I think that once you make it, you will be making it many more times. This recipe is simple and so very delicious. Thanks for your comment.

Wow, does this look delicious and easy to make. Putting the ingredients on my shopping list so I can try this!

Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on March 28, 2013:

Hello beingwell,

I know that many people do quite a bit of cooking in their microwave ovens. I am sure that it could be accomplished using this recipe. Obviously it would not take as long a time. You would just have to experiment regarding the timing. All that truly needs cooking is the chicken. If you try it, please come back and tell us how long it took in the microwave so that others know. Thanks!

beingwell from Bangkok on March 28, 2013:

Sharing this one. I don't have a baking oven, peggy. Can I do this with my microwave oven?

Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on November 30, 2012:

Hi Lilleyth,

Hello p10kabhijita,

"Mouth watering" is a good way to describe this Italian inspired chicken dish with the buffalo mozzarella cheese and the prosciutto. Thanks for your comment.

Ishwaryaa Dhandapani from Chennai, India on June 11, 2012:

A yummy recipe! I am a big fan of Italian dishes. I like the idea of combination of chicken and cheese. In my country, pig meat is not commonly eaten. I will try this recipe with some substitute for prosciutto. The first photo look so delicious and beautifully captured! CONGRATS on the hub of the day! Well-done!

Peggy Woods (author) from Houston, Texas on June 03, 2012:

Hi Cardisa,

If you cannot find prosciutto, the next best thing would be to get some good flavored thinly sliced (paper thin) ham at your local deli. It will be different from the prosciutto, obviously, but still should be good flavored and lend flavors to this chicken entree. Thanks for your comment and the congrats on getting HOTD.
