Valdostana Chicken also know as scaloppine alla valdostana is a scrumptious Italian recipe made with chicken, butter, prosciutto cotto (ham) and Fontina cheese. Is an easy a hearty dish that is made in a single pan and can be ready in about 15 minutes!
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breats thinly sliced about 400 gr
- 3 large slices of prosciutto cotto (ham) halved
- 110 gr (1 cup) Fontina cheese shreded, grated
- 120 ml (½ cup) dry white wine
- All purpose flour
- 2 tbsp extravirgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- Parsley chopped
- salt & 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 in both sides -about 2 minutes per side-.
- Pour in the wine and shake the pan to loosen any brown bits from the bottom. Let the alcohol evaporate -about 3 minutes- and if you see the sauce gets too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of water.
- Add the prosciutto on the chicken slices and then top with the cheese. Low the heat to the minimun 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.
