Prep: 3 minutes; Cook: 12 minutes. Prosciutto is Italian-style ham that has been seasoned, salt-cured (not smoked), and air-dried. After it's dried, the meat is pressed, so it has a firm, dense texture. Prosciutto is a little pricey, but the flavor it adds is worth it. If you can't find it, you can substitute lean ham. Ingredients:
2 (4-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
1/3 cup fig preserves |
2 tablespoons chopped prosciutto |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
2 tablespoons water |
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan, and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side until seared.
2. Combine fig preserves and remaining ingredients. Add to chicken. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook 6 minutes or until chicken is done. Uncover and cook 1 minute over medium-high heat until sauce is slightly thickened.
