SAUTéED CHICKEN WITH MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl add the oil, dijon, chicken broth and salt and pepper and mix well then add to a large plastic bag with the chicken breasts and marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 375 and place the prosciutto on baking sheet and cook until crisp about 12 minutes.
• Heat a large sauté pan with the light butter and cook the chicken until browned on both side about 5 minutes per side. Last, drop the oven to 350 degrees and add the chicken breasts to a baking sheet and top with the mozzarella and parmesan cheese and bake a few minutes until the cheese has melted.
• Once the chicken is done, break apart the prosciutto into pieces and top each piece of chicken with a good amount and serve!
• I created this recipe the other night and my family LOVED it - it is a new favorite in our house for sure! :)

PROSCIUTTO AND MOZZARELLA STUFFED CHICKEN WITH ORANGE BEURRE BLANC SAUCE

Steps:

• For the stuffed chicken: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Carefully slice a slit along edge of the thickest part of each chicken breast to create a pocket. Stuff a slice of prosciutto and 1-ounce mozzarella into each, secure with toothpicks as needed, and place on a baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper and brush with olive oil. Place in the oven and roast until fork tender about 45 to 50 minutes.
• For the Orange Beurre Blanc:
• Combine the orange juice and wine in a saucepan and simmering on medium heat until reduced by half the volume. Stir in heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and allow to reduce and thicken over low heat. Stir in parsley and set aside briefly in a warm place.
• Remove any toothpicks from chicken and place on serving dish. Whisk butter into sauce just before serving, and drizzle sauce around and over the chicken.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH PROSCIUTTO, MOZZARELLA AND MARSALA

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between pieces of waxed paper and pound them with a mallet until about 1/4" thick.
• Lay out slices of prosciutto side by side on counter, with the length of the slice facing away from you.
• Place one of the chicken cutlets on top of 3 or 4 prosciutto slices. Fold the upper and lower edges of the prosciutto slices in and over the chicken cutlet. The cutlet will be partially covered by the prosciutto. Flip the cutlet over and it will be totally covered. Repeat with all 4 cutlets. (That seemed like a lot of work to me. I cut a pocket in the chicken cutlets and inserted diced prosciutto. Turned out just fine.).
• Break eggs into a wide shallow bowl and beat well.
• Place enough flour to dust the chicken in another wide shallow bowl.
• Dip each cutlet into the egg, coating well. Let excess egg drip off and then dip lightly in flour.
• In two 8" saute pans, place 3 tbl butter (I used half that amount) and heat over medium heat.
• When butter is foaming, place 2 cutlets in each pan.
• Cook the cutlets until golden on the outside and just done inside (about 2 or 3 minutes per side).
• Preheat broiler.
• When chicken is done, remove cutlets to broiler pan.
• Top each piece with one tablespoon (or more) of parmesan and then a slice of mozzarella.
• Place under broiler until cheese has completely melted and browned slightly.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Spill butter out of saute pans and wipe them lightly with a paper towel. (I didn't do this and used the pan juices and butter in the sauce.).
• Return pans to high heat and add 1/4 cup marsala and 1/4 cup chicken stock to each pan.
• Boil quickly until only 3 or 4 tbl of liquid is left in each pan.
• Turn heat to low and place 2 tbl of butter in each pan (again, I used less). Swirl with a whisk until a creamy brown sauce is formed.
• Divide cutlets between 2 plates and pour marsala sauce over and around them.
• Serve immediately.

PAN-FRIED STUFFED CHICKEN WITH PROSCIUTTO, MOZZARELLA AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise to make 4 portions. Cut a slit into the sides of each portion. Insert a slice of prosciutto, a slice of cheese and 2 whole basil leaves into each slit. Secure well with a toothpick.
• Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot; add the chicken. Reduce heat to medium; cook, turning once, until chicken is browned, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer chicken to a baking pan.
• Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 15-18 minutes.
• Transfer to a platter.
• Meanwhile, heat the broth, mustard and garlic to a boil in the same skillet over high heat; cook until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in sliced basil; pour over chicken.

PROSCIUTTO CHICKEN IN WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, brown chicken on all sides in oil and butter., Add the remaining ingredients, stirring to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Remove chicken and keep warm. Bring sauce to a boil; cook for 10-12 minutes or until liquid is reduced to 3/4 cup. Serve with chicken.
