Make

  1. Preheat oven to 450F (232C) degrees. Place a wired cooling rack into a sheet pan.
  2. Dip avocado wedges into flour, then egg, and then almond meal. Place breaded wedges on cooling rack. I found it pretty quick to do wedges one at a time. Shake and bake doesn’t quite work as well with delicate avocado wedges. Continue until done and then bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the almond meal gets golden.
  3. Microwave kale leaves for 1 minute, until wilted, on a microwave-safe plate.
  4. Open up your butterflied chicken breasts. Spread 1 serving of pesto onto one side of chicken breast and top with kale leaves and prosciutto slice. Fold breast close. Continue until they’re all done.
  5. Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in cooking oil and then gently place stuffed chicken breasts into heated oil. Sear on each side for 3 to 4 minutes until golden. Lower heat to medium and cover with foil or a lid. Cook until chicken reaches 160F (71C)degrees or is medium-firm when you press on it (but be careful - it’ll be hot!), 3 to 6 more minutes.
  6. Enjoy prosciutto and kale stuffed chicken breasts with avocado fries dipped into aioli. If aioli has separated, re-emulsify the yolk and oil by whisking.
