Preparation and Cooking of Stuffed Chicken Breast:
Place the chicken breast slices on a cutting board, and flatten them well with a meat tenderizer.
Lightly salt them.
On each slice of meat, place a slice of prosciutto and a piece of cheese, fold the meat over and secure it well with toothpicks.
In a plate, put the egg and a splash of milk and beat well with a fork, adding a pinch of salt.
In another plate, put the breadcrumbs.
Take a chicken breast and pass it first in the egg and then in the breadcrumbs, making sure it adheres well.
Repeat the same procedure with all the meat.
COOKING IN THE AIR FRYER.
Place two pieces of stuffed chicken in the fryer on the grill, spray a little extra virgin olive oil on top and cook at 356°F for 10 minutes, check the cooking, they should be nicely golden.
Cook the other two pieces following the same cooking times.
COOKING WITH TRADITIONAL OVEN.
Line a baking tray with parchment paper, place the stuffed chicken breast on it, sprinkle a little oil on top and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for about 15 minutes, until nicely golden.
You can replace the prosciutto and grated cheese with cooked ham and melting cheese if you prefer a milder flavor version.
For this recipe, we considered 2 pieces of stuffed meat per person.
