Grilled Cheesy Ham-Stuffed Chicken

  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 30 min
  • Servings 8

Ingredients

  • 8 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts halves (about 2 1/2 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup herb-and-garlic spreadable cheese
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto or fully cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup zesty Italian dressing

Steps

  • 1
    Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Carefully cut a horizontal slit in each chicken breast half, making a pocket when top of chicken is lifted back.
  • 2
    Spread 1 tablespoon cheese inside each chicken pocket. Top with folded slices of prosciutto. Close chicken around filling, being sure that most of the filling is enclosed. Brush dressing on chicken.
  • 3
    Cover and grill chicken 4 to 5 inches from medium-high heat 10 to 12 minutes, brushing occasionally with dressing and turning once, until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.

  • Turn the chicken with a grill spatula instead of a fork or tongs so the cheese filling doesn't squeeze out as the chicken cooks.
