The air-fryer does it, friends! If you don’t have one you can still adapt to a regular oven, but I tell you, the texture and how easy it all happens is hard to beat. Ever since we invested in a model with a bigger basket, I’ve been using it all the time.
PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED CHICKEN BREASTS
(from The Bewitching Kitchen)
3 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
juice of a lemon
salt and pepper to taste
slices of prosciutto
spray of olive oil
Squirt a very small amount of lemon juice over the chicken breasts, season lightly with salt and pepper, rubbing the mixture all over.
Lay 2 slices of prosciutto overlapping slightly over a board, place one chicken breast over it and wrap the prosciutto around. Carefully place the meat in the air-fryer basket, with the seam side down. Repeat with all other pieces. Spray them with a little olive oil and air-fry at 400F (or as high as your machine goes) for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the meat midway through. You can check the temperature with a probe thermometer if you prefer a little more precision, going for 160F.
Allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing.
ENJOY!

Comments: I made this twice already and will be repeating it soon, because we really liked it a lot. Prosciutto tends to be expensive, that is the only drawback and you do need two slices per breast. We enjoyed it with green beans with almonds and plain rice, it was a quick and very delicious dinner.

No chance for the chicken o be dry! Huh – I presume he third breast is for the oh-so-hungry Lord-and-Master . . . 🙂 ?

Hi Sally,
These sound delicious and may be the last nudge I need to jump on the air fryer bandwagon. I tried searching the blog for the model of your newer one but couldn’t find it. Would you mind sharing that, please?
Thanks,
Charlene

I might have to break down and get an air fryer! I keep trying to live without one, but every time I read about one I feel like I need to try using one.
