Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Prosciutto slices
- 4 slices Mozzarella cheese
- 0.75 cups Marsala wine
- 0.5 cups Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Cook the chicken in batches for about 3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze and loosen any browned bits.
Step 6
Add the chicken stock to the skillet and simmer the sauce for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the top, and place a slice of prosciutto and mozzarella cheese on each piece of chicken.
Step 8
Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Step 9
Finish the sauce by stirring in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 10
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the chicken and spoon more of the sauce on top before serving.
