2 cloves garlic, chopped

250g Perfect Italiano Mozzarella

6 pieces of prosciutto, thinly sliced

In a bowl, combine the basil, garlic, Perfect Italiano Mozzarella and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Place the mixture down the middle of the chicken breast and roll tightly, then wrap the breast in 1 1/2 pieces of sliced prosciutto. Pin each end of the chicken with a toothpick to prevent the cheese mixture falling out
Heat a large pan with olive oil and brown each side of the rolled chicken breast, finish in the oven for a further 6-8 minutes to ensure chicken is cooked through
