Cooking Guide

1. Prep & Pre-heat

o Preheat your oven to 450°F (190°C).

o Clean chicken tenderloins (get any remaining membrane off). Slice a shallow pocket horizontally along the side of each tenderloin (or slice almost in half butterfly-style). Lightly season inside with the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano and red pepper flakes.

o Tuck a small piece/fold of Prosciutto di Parma inside the pocket, then wrap another slice tightly around the outside of each tenderloin to secure it closed.

2. Sear the Chicken

o Heat olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet (like cast iron) over medium-high heat.

o Add the stuffed tenderloins and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side until the chicken starts to get some color. Then transfer to an oven safe baking dish

3. Mix the Sauce

o In the same pan you seared your chicken, add the container of Cream of Mushroom Soup. Add Pecorino right in and let simmer for a few minutes until everything is incorporated.

o Pour over chicken

4. Top & Bake

o Bake for 10 to 15 minutes (until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and the sauce is hot and bubbling).

5. Garnish & Serve

o Remove from the oven, let rest for 3–5 minutes, garnish with Pecorino
