Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 4 slices Prosciutto
• 8 ounces Mushrooms (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon Fresh oregano (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh basil (chopped)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet, about 1/2 inch thick, and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Sear the chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown but not cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are golden and softened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Deglaze the skillet with dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 7

Add chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, fresh oregano, and fresh basil to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a simmer.

Step 8

Return the partially cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Place one slice of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast.

Step 9

Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer gently in the sauce for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken and sauce, allowing it to melt for a minute or two. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
