Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 slices Prosciutto
• 2 cups Cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.75 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 4

Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto slices to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until crisp, then remove and set aside.

Step 6

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and softened.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 9

Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 10

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any juices collected on the plate. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Step 11

Crumble the cooked prosciutto over the chicken and sauce.

Step 12

Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
