COOKING TIME: 35 minutes | YIELDS: 4 portions

Ingredients

  • 4 large Chicken Breasts
  • 150g Cream Cheese
  • 4 Large slices of Prosciutto Crudo
  • 150g Sliced Mozzarella
  • 100ml Basil Pesto
  • 2 Brinjals
  • 2 Red Peppers
  • 2 Green Peppers
  • 2 Yellow Peppers
  • Cos Lettuce
  • Olive oil
  • Toothpicks
  • Salt and Pepper

Cooking Method: 

  1. Flatten and butterfly each chicken breast carefully. Spread a layer of pesto, salt and pepper on the inside. Scoop in a dollop of cream cheese and a few slices of mozzarella. Roll the breast tightly. Wrap a piece of Prosciutto around the breast and secure lightly with toothpicks. Place in a baking tray.
  2. Prepare your veggies, by slicing into large segments that braai easily. Cut the cos lettuce heads in half. Preheat your Char-Brail grill to high.
  3. Use a cooking base to elevate your dish from the grid. Place the baking dish, covered in foil, in the middle of your Char-broil grid and close the lid. Bake for about 35 minutes and test with a knife. Once the chicken breasts are cooked, grill all veggies directly on the hot grids.
  4. Remove from the braai. Build veggie lowers by piling the brinjal and pepper together, secure with a toothpick. Drizzle the last basil pesto over the chicken breasts and enjoy.
