*1/2 cup ricotta
*1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
*1//4 cup fresh basil, chopped
*2 TBSP drained oil-packed sundried tomatoes, minced

*5-6 slices of prosciutto
🔥Set smoker to 375F
🔥Mix together ricotta, parmesan, basil, sundried tomatoes, garlic, egg yolk and season with salt and pepper. Set aside
🔥Pat dry two chicken breasts and cut length wise careful without cutting through the other edge to create a “pocket” for the ricotta filling.
🔥Add filling to each breast then season chicken well with salt and pepper. Wrap each breast with prosciutto (about 2-3 slices per depending on size) and place in cast iron pan.
🔥Put on smoker @greenmountaingrills (at 375F) and cook until breast internal temp reads 165F (will take about 18-20 minutes)

I served mine with extra basil and a side of rosemary flatbread and Caesar salad.
