Ok, this is a basic description of this recipe. I found this in a cookbook, last night, that my husband has (but never uses). I made it and I could not stop eating it. Ok, I could, but it was hard. I even had some for lunch today and will probably have it again for dinner (good amount of leftovers).
Ingredients:
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Dried basil
Salt (optional)
Pepper (optional)
Fresh mozarella
Prosciutto
EVOO
Italian bread crumbs
2 eggs
Preheat oven to 350F
Cut the chicken breasts in half, lengthwise.
Pound the chicken with a meat mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken (just enough to make a THIN layer)
Sprinkle basil on chicken (again, just enough to make a THIN layer)
Grate fresh mozarella on chicken (as much as you prefer..remember, it's not low fat cheese)
Lay a slice of prosciutto on top of the cheese
Fold the chicken in half. Dredge it in the egg and then in the bread crumbs and place it in a skillet with extra virgin olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side (until browned) - they added butter to the oil, but I didn't.
Place on nonstick baking sheet and bake in oven for 10 minutes.
Molto Squisito!!!
