Ingredients Checklist (Tap as You Prep)

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each)
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (28g)
• 1/2 cup chopped prosciutto (4 oz)
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (28g)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or air fryer to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, mix together Parmesan cheese, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Place a chicken breast between two sheets of parchment paper and pound to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch.
3. Spread 1 tbsp of olive oil over the chicken breast, then sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese mixture, followed by chopped prosciutto.
4. Roll the chicken breast tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
5. Dip each rolled chicken breast in the panko breadcrumbs, coating evenly.
6. Place the coated chicken breasts in the preheated skillet or air fryer basket, leaving about 1 inch of space between each breast.
