Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 2 tablespoons dried oregano
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
• 2 slices prosciutto
• 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 4 ounces Brie cheese, cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 2 roma tomatoes, chopped
• 2 large mushrooms, sliced
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.75 cup dry white wine
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Pour white wine and water into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Mix oregano, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl; massage oregano mixture onto both sides of chicken breasts. Arrange coated chicken breasts in the baking dish; sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

Step 4

Bake chicken in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Place tomatoes, mushrooms, and garlic around the chicken breasts; sprinkle 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over chicken and vegetables. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 5

Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese over chicken; top each chicken breast with 1 slice prosciutto and 2 to 3 slices Brie cheese diagonally atop prosciutto.

Step 6

Bake until Brie cheese is melted, 5 to 10 minutes.
