Ingredients 
Cups (US) - Metric

  • 6 thin slices of chicken breast
  • 3 large slices of prosciutto cotto (ham) (halved)
  • 1 cup Fontina cheese (shredded)
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 2 Tbsp All purpose flour
  • 2 Tbsp extravirgin olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp parsley (chopped)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  • Lightly season the chicken slices with salt and pepper.
  • Dredge each slice in flour and shake off any excess.
  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat, add the butter and as soon as it melts add the chicken in a single layer.
  • Fry until golden on both sides (about 2 minutes per side).
  • Pour in the wine and shake the pan to loosen any brown bits from the bottom.
  • Allow the alcohol to evaporate (about 3 minutes) and if you see the sauce gets too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of water.
  • Add the prosciutto to the chicken slices and then top with cheese.
  • Set heat to low and cover the pan. Let it cook for about 2 minutes or just until the cheese has completely melted.
  • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
