Butterflied chicken breasts stuffed with smoky ham and nutty Gruyère, then roasted until golden. The cheese melts into every crevice while the meat stays juicy. Elegant enough for company, simple enough for a Tuesday night.

Ingredients

4 servings

14 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1Freshly ground black pepper
14 ounces thinly sliced Black Forest ham
14 ounces thinly sliced Gruyère cheese
11 tablespoon olive oil
1Kosher salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Using a sharp knife, make an incision on thinner long side of chicken breast, cutting parallel through the breast but not all the way through. Season inside of chicken with pepper and stuff each with 1 oz. ham and 1 oz. cheese.
Transfer chicken to a rimmed baking sheet and rub all over with oil; season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 165°F, 12–15 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing.
