Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 4 slices Fontina cheese
• 4 slices Prosciutto
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully make a horizontal slit along the thickest side of each chicken breast to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts inside and out with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 4

Place a slice of Fontina cheese and a slice of prosciutto into the pocket of each chicken breast. Secure the opening with toothpicks to keep the filling in place.

Step 5

Lightly dredge each stuffed chicken breast in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set it aside briefly.

Step 8

Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let it cook for 1 minute to reduce slightly.

Step 9

Add the chicken broth and the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 10

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the top.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the cheese is melted.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Discard the toothpicks.

Step 13

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
