2
Valdostana Chicken also know as scaloppine alla valdostana is a scrumptious Italian recipe made with chicken, butter, prosciutto cotto (ham) and Fontina cheese.
Ingredients
- 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.
