You guys, this. is. incredible… Like seriously. Antipasto by itself is already one of my favourite things to eat, but stuff it inside some juicy chicken breasts and wrap it in some crispy prosciutto?? Literally drooling all over again at the thought.
I know what you’re thinking, how do you come up with these things!? To be honest with you it’s usually a lightbulb kind of situation with most things I make, but this was a little different. For those of you who don’t know, I send out a weekly roundup to my awesome email subscribers and offer a vote on which recipes they’d like to see be made. Last week’s vote included ‘antipasto pasto’ and ‘stuffed chicken breasts’. Yeah you see where I’m going with this. ‘Stuffed chicken breasts’ was the winning vote, but not by much. So essentially here we are.. Antipasto stuffed chicken breasts. First things first…
What is antipasto?
Antipasto, otherwise known as Antipasti (which is the plural) is a selection of pickled or cured meats often served with cheese, bread, herbs and other small food items such as olives, artichoke hearts and mushrooms. It means ‘before the meal’ and is often served as the first dish at an Italian meal.

As you can imagine this recipe is super quick and easy! Simple right? No fuss dinner ready and waiting!
What antipasto ingredients to use
Honestly the world is your oyster, follow your tastebuds. Here I use:
Sun dried tomatoes Mozzarella Olives Artichoke Hearts
In terms of baking in the oven, there’s two things to keep in mind. First thing is ensuring that you coat the prosciutto in a thin layer of olive oil. Prosciutto is incredibly thin so doesn’t have a huge amount of fat on it. To protect it from drying out in the oven, just a thin layer of oil will help it crisp and keep it a little moist. Second is to make sure you secure the pocket opening so everything doesn’t pour out. I like to stuff as much as physically possible in the breasts so for me a toothpick/cocktail stick is a must! Although a bit of cheese spill ain’t a bad thing right? So for your next quick and easy dinner, look no further than these antipasto stuffed chicken breasts! A truly delicious way to serve chicken without the fuss of frying. Just cut them, stuff them, wrap them and bake them. You’d be a fool not to give this fool proof recipe a go 😉
