Ingredients:
1 lb chicken breast fillets
¼ lb thin sliced prosciutto cotto
⅓ lb shredded Fontina D’Aosta cheese
½ cup white wine
1 to 1.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
Flour for dredging
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Chopped parsley
A knob of butter
A generous pour of cream
Instructions:
1. Flour the chicken fillets, shaking off any excess. This process helps to create a slight crust that will enhance the texture and flavor once seared.
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil and a knob of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the oil begins to shimmer. Carefully place the chicken in the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper as it cooks.
3. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per side.
4. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the flavors to meld.
5. Add chicken or vegetable broth to the skillet, and bring to a simmer.
6. Cover the chicken with slices of prosciutto cotto and sprinkle generously with shredded Fontina cheese and parsley.
7. Cover the skillet and let cook until the chicken is fully cooked through and the cheese has melted.
8. Drizzle with additional cream from the pan and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
