Aces Fontina Chicken With Prosciutto Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and use mallet to pound chicken to 1/3-inch thickness (sub scallopini if desired). Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper (I always use kosher and fresh ground). Spread 1/2 cup flour on plate. Turn chicken in flour to lightly coat both sides, make sure to shake off excess.
• Melt butter with oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken cook 3-4 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook just until almost cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Transfer to platter and cover to keep warm; reserve skillet.
• Over medium high heat wine and chicken stock to deglaze the pan by scraping up the chicken bits off the bottom for roughly 1 minute Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer over meduim heat for 5-7 mins to thicken the sauce. You can always mix 1 tbls of flour and 1 tbls of water together and add it to the sauce if you don't feel it is thick enough.
• While the sauce simmers place 2 prosciutto slices on each piece of chicken and top with 1-2 pieces of cheese (amount will depend on size of cheese slices). Then place the chicken back into the pan with the sauce and sprinkle the sage leaves around the pan. Squeeze the lemon or add the lemon juice to the pan and cover with lid. Simmer the chicken breast with the sauce for 2 mins or until the cheese is melted fully.
• Plate the chicken on and long narrow plate and drizzle the sauce over the chicken pieces and serve with your favorite rice or orzo on the side. Oh yeah -- Enjoy!

Steps:

• Lay the chicken between sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch. Season evenly on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place a breast half cut side up on cutting board. Lay a slice of prosciutto on top, cutting it to fit and reserving any prosciutto trimmings.
• Lay a slice of fontina on top of prosciutto, cutting it to fit as well.
• Roll up chicken, tucking in the sides and forming a neat package. Use a toothpick to secure the bottom if needed. Place the chicken seam side down on a plate and repeat until all chicken is rolled.
• Combine half of the melted butter, garlic and parsley in a shallow dish. In another dish, combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
• Dip each stuffed breast half into the butter, then roll in the crumbs, coating it evenly.
• At this point, cover and refrigerate at least one hour or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350. Thinly slice any leftover pieces of proscuitto and combine with remaining 1/4 cup of melted butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook the prosciutto until crisp and reserve for a garnish.
• Cook the chicken in the melted butter until golden brown on each side.
• Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a baking dish, until heated through, 15 - 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour the wine and broth into the skillett, bring to a boil and reduce the mixture to about 1/2 cup, scraping all of the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
• When the chicken is done, remove from the oven and cover with tin foil for 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the top or serve it on the side.
• garnish with the crispy prosciutto.

Steps:

• With a mallet, gently pound each chicken breast between waxed paper.
• The breasts should be one inch thick.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place one slice of proscuitto on top of each chicken breast.
• With the back of your knife, tap the proscuitto lightly on the chicken breast.
• This will make the proscuitto adhere to the chicken.
• Preheat your 9" skillet with the oil until it becomes hot, not smokey.
• Turn heat to medium/high.
• Lay each piece of chicken, proscuitto side down, into the oiled pan.
• Turn the heat down to medium.

• Continue to cook the chicken in the tomato sauce for another 3- 4 minutes.
