c-az's Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Garlic Herb Cheese

4 oz (1/2 package) Cream Cheese
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 tsp dry basil leaves
1/8 tsp pepper
12 Chicken Tenders
Prosciutto Ham Slices
1 Tbsp Butter

In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese, garlic, basil leaves and pepper.

Place chicken tenders on a sheet of waxed paper. Spoon 1/6th of cheese filling evenly onto the center of chicken tender. Top with a second chicken tender. Wrap a slice of prosciutto ham around the filled chicken. Repeat this to make a total of 6 stuffed chicken tenders.

To Freeze: Wrap each bundle individually in plastic wrap; pack in large freezer bag and freeze. Thaw tenders in the refrigerator before cooking.

In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat until foamy. Add chicken and cook 3 minutes, turn, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside.

Tip: Toss hot cooked noodles in the buttery pan juices left in the skillet. Add a little chopped parsley for a great side dish.
