Ingredients

Marinade/Glaze

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup honey can sub brown sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons oil
2 teaspoons minced/pressed garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
1 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme (can substitute 1 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend for fresh herbs)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon dijon mustard optional

Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
8 paper thin slices prosciutto

Salad Dressing

1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Salad

5 ounces baby arugula or other greens
1/4 cup shaved or shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup halved grape tomatoes

Instructions

Combine marinade ingredients in gallon sized zip-top bag, seal and shake to combine. Add chicken breasts and marinate 2 hours to overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (See baking notes & Air Fryer directions below)
On a cutting board, lay out 2 slices of prosciutto next to each other, overlapping about ½-inch. Don’t worry if they tear apart a bit, just piece it together.
Remove a chicken breast from marinade (reserve marinade), lay in center of prosciutto, wrap the prosciutto over the chicken breast and place on broiler rack.
Repeat process with other 3 breasts. Bake for 15 minutes.
Make Glaze: While chicken is baking, pour the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes.
Brush chicken breasts with glaze, turn over and brush again.
Increase oven heat to 375 degrees F. and bake for 5-10 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165 degrees F. internal temperature.)
Whisk together the dressing ingredients. Toss the greens with as much dressing as you like in a large bowl.
Arrange greens on a large platter, top with Parmesan and tomatoes.
Arrange chicken breasts over salad and serve family style.

Notes

Baking Notes:

This recipe is written to bake using the convection function of the KitchenAid Countertop Ovens. If using a non-convection oven, increase oven temperatures 25 degrees - and monitor for cooking times - may need to be adjusted. Cook till internal temperature (165 degrees F. internal temperature.) Make sure to let them rest 5 minutes after cooking.

Air Fryer Directions: (updated 3/20/23)

Place in the air fryer (I usually spray cooking surface with non-stick spray) and air fry at 370-degrees F. for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken, brush with glaze and cook for an additional 4-8 minutes cooking time, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165-degrees on an instant read thermometer. The total cook time will depend on the size of your chicken breasts (see below).

Approximate Air Fryer Timing:

Small Breasts (5-7 oz.) – 14 minutes
Medium Breasts (8-9 oz.) – 16 minutes
Large Breasts (10+ oz.) – 18 minutes
