Ingredients

• 4 pieces pork chops or chicken breasts (boneless)
• 4 slices prosciutto
• 1 cup canned artichoke hearts (drained and quartered)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable stock
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wrap each chop or chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto, pressing to adhere.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Sear the prosciutto-wrapped meat for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and butter over medium heat.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw taste of the flour.

Step 8

Gradually whisk in the chicken or vegetable stock and heavy cream, ensuring the mixture is smooth.

Step 9

Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.

Step 10

Return the meat to the skillet and add the artichoke hearts. Simmer for 10 minutes, spooning the sauce over the meat occasionally, until the meat is fully cooked and the sauce is rich and creamy.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
