Ingredients

  • 6 large Chicken Thighs deboned and skin on
  • 1/4 lbs Prosciutto chopped
  • 1/2 c Gruyere grated
  • 1 c Baby Spinach chopped
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning or Poultry Seasoning
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475°F.
  • In a bowl, combine the prosciutto, spinach, and cheese. 
  • Pound out chicken thighs, skin side down, to an even thickness; about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch.
  • Sprinkle Italian Seasoning over chicken.
  • Use 1/6 of the amount of prosciutto filling and place it in the center of each thigh. Roll up the thighs and season skin with salt and pepper.
  • In a large oven-safe sauté pan or cast iron skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Place each thigh in the pan with skin side up. After about 2 minutes, flip over with skin side down for an additional 2 minutes. Lower heat to medium and cook for 12 minutes to render the fat.
  • Flip chicken over one last time, with skin facing up, and place in preheated oven for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and serve.
