Description

I say this is “Megan’s” because I don’t pound the chicken so it’s thin and then roll it up, I never have had great success with that. The cheese all melts out and the cheese is my favorite part – I want it all melty and tucked inside the chicken just waiting for me to cut into it so it can ooze out all over my plate. With my way things stay in place and it’s WAY easier to make.

Ingredients

  • FOR THE ASSEMBLY:
  • 5 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • 5 slices Prosciutto
  • 5 pieces Swiss Cheese, (I Like To Just Take A Block And Cut 1/2 Inch Pieces Off The Short End)
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • Kosher Salt And Freshly Ground Black Pepper, To Taste
  • _____
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 whole Crimini Mushrooms
  • ¾ cups White Wine
  • 2 cloves Garlic, Minced And Crushed
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • ½ whole Lemon, Juiced
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

Rinse and dry the chicken, then carefully cut a slit in the thicker end of each breast – you are making a pocket that you are going to stuff the prosciutto and cheese into so make it as long and wide as you can without cutting through.

Once you have cut a slit in each breast, wrap a piece of cheese in a piece of prosciutto and carefully stuff it inside the pocket of a chicken breast. Repeat with remaining ingredients until all the breasts have been stuffed.

Next heat a cast iron skillet (or other oven safe skillet) to medium high with the olive oil in it.

Combine the whole wheat flour, salt and pepper on a plate and coat each of the breasts in it, shaking off the excess and then place the chicken into the hot skillet. Brown both sides of the chicken. Then, once browned place the skillet in the oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 minutes.

While the chicken is in the oven make the sauce.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms once the butter is melted and cook just for about a minute. Add the wine and the garlic and simmer until the wine is reduced just a little, about 6-7 minutes. Then add the cream and simmer until the sauce is thick and bubbly, about 7-8 more minutes. Add the lemon juice and the salt and continue cooking just a couple more minutes.

Remove the chicken from the oven.

To serve, place one breast on each plate and top with about 1/4 cup of the sauce on each.

Enjoy!!!
