Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken with Lemon Caper Sauce
Thanks so much to Alexia Foods for sponsoring this post and helping to bring a nutritious delicious dinner to my family in under 30 minutes!
Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken is a quick, yet flavor-packed recipe topped with an easy and yummy lemon caper pan sauce. Served with my favorite Alexia Crinkle Cut Fries and roasted green beans, this family-friendly meal comes together in less than 30 minutes.
This dish looks so impressive and has the best taste, no one will guess it’s so simple. The recipe moves VERY quickly. I recommend having all ingredients out and ready to go before getting started. My family especially enjoys our prosciutto-wrapped chicken served with roasted green beans and Alexia Crinkle Cut Fries. I put my green beans and fries in the oven together before cooking the chicken. Once the chicken is done, your veggies and fries will be too. Perfection!
Alexia Fries make for an easy side with the all-natural flavors my family craves. The premium Crinkle Cut Fries I chose for this chicken dinner are roasted—never fried—and made with U.S.-grown Yukon Select Potatoes for a quality taste without the guilt!
