Chicken Stuffed with Figs, Prosciutto and Gorgonzola

[heart_this] · Sep 20, 2007 · 6 Comments

Chicken Stuffed with Figs, Prosciutto and Gorgonzola

I was recently introduced to figs and I really enjoyed them. I was looking for some fig recipes and I kept coming across the combinations of figs, cheese and prosciutto. I also saw a recipe for chicken stuffed with figs. I thought Chicken Cordon Blue! Except with figs and gorgonzola cheese wrapped in prosciutto and chicken. It sounded pretty good.
Sometimes things just don’t work out as you would like them to. I though I had some eggs in my fridge but it turned out that I did not. I had wanted to dip the rolled up chicken in egg and panko and fry it in oil until it was golden brown. But without the egg I ended up just baking the rolled up chicken with some panko crumbs sprinkled on top. It still turned out pretty good. Figs, prosciutto and warm gooey melted gorgonzola cheese is a great combination of flavours. I am sure that a crisp golden brown panko exterior would have made it even better. I will have to see if I can work this dish into my meal plan again while I can still get fresh figs.
Note: I have written the recipe as I intended to try it. I ended up just baking the rolled up chicken in the oven for 30-35 minutes rather than frying it and then baking it.

    Wow just the sound of that is making my mouth water. Anything with gorgonzola has my vote.
    And I like how you used panko breadcrumbs. I love them, like little snowflakes.

    I would think that the apples/applesauce should work. Pears would go well with the gorgonzola as well.

    hi kevin!

    ok, it turned out not too bad. i made one of the breasts with apples, just to see how it would turn out. and both were fine – the pears were sweeter adn balanced well with th cheese. however i should have used more pears and apples though. i was being too cautious. i didn’t have any proscuitto like i thought, so i used the honey ham we get from the whole foods here..that was yummy. i added a marsala sauce with cream too, and had fresh sweet corn (i froze it from late this past summer) and a brown rice pilaf i made. so next time i will use the figs, but the pears are a good variation though i think.

    thanks for your help kevin!
