Instructions
Hatch Chile & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breast
- Depending on the size, cut the chicken breasts into 2 or 3 2-oz. pieces. Take a sharp knife and cut a 2" cavity in each breast.
- In a mixing bowl, combine cheese, Hatch chile, cilantro and red onion in a bowl. Combine completely.
- Stuff each breast piece with a tablespoon of the cheese mixture. Now wrap a piece of proscuitto over the cheese-filled cavity and around the chicken breast. Place seam side down on the board until cooking.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet pan with racks.
- Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high, then place 3 or 4 pieces of wrapped chicken, seam side down, in the pan. Brown to a golden brown on each side. Place seared chicken on the sheet pan racks and repeat in several batches.
- Place in the oven for about 30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of greater than 165 degrees F.
Hatch Chile Pan Sauce
- While the chicken is finishing in the oven, add the flour to the pan drippings. Stir over low heat to cook the flour for about 7 minutes. Add the chicken broth, a few ounces at a time, and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Add more broth as necessary to render a thin gravy. Add the Hatch Chile (optional) and incorporate.
- To serve, ladle the pan sauce on a plate, then top with 2 or 3 chicken pieces.
