An elegant and intensely flavorful way to prepare chicken breasts: roll with prosciutto and cheese, skewer with rosemary sprigs, and marinate (or not). Ingredients:
4 sprigs fresh rosemary |
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/4 inch thickness |
4 slices smoked fontina cheese |
4 slices prosciutto |
1/2 cup white wine |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
1/4 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper |
4 cloves garlic, halved |
salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Use a knife or grater to sharpen the thick ends of the rosemary sprigs. Soak sprigs in water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
3. Layer each chicken breast with 1 slice fontina and 1 slice prosciutto. Roll tightly, and skewer each with a rosemary sprig to secure.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the wine, broth, oil and pepper. Pour into a medium baking dish. Place rolled chicken breasts in the dish. Place 2 garlic halves under each breast.
5. Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken juices run clear. Remove from baking dish, reserving sauce, and allow to stand 5 minutes.
6. Transfer remaining sauce to a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Drizzle over chicken to serve. Season chicken with salt to taste.
