Chicken Breasts With Cheese and Prosciutto

Preparation

·         Place the chicken breasts one at a time in a large zip        lock bag

·         Place the bag on a firm surface

·         Pound with the mallet on both sides until flattened

·         Let the chicken rest in the bag

·         Preheat oven to 350 degrees

·         Drizzle a little olive oil in the bottom of a casserole            dish

·         Add pepper, salt and paprika to flour in a bowl

·         Add breadcrumbs to a second bowl

·         Break the egg into a third bowl and whisk

·         Liberally dust both sides of the breast with pepper,          salt and paprika

·         Lay a slice of prosciutto on the inner side (rough) of          the breast

·         Lay strips of cheese over the prosciutto

·         Roll up the breast, keeping as tight as possible

·         Roll the breast roll in the flour, then

·         roll in the whisked egg, finally

·         Roll in the breadcrumbs, covering completely

·         Place the breast, seam side down, in the casserole

·         Repeat with the other chicken breast

·         Drizzle a little olive oil over the breasts

·         Place in the oven for approximately 30 minutes until        done

·         Let rest and cool for about 10 minutes

Note: I find using a rectangular casserole dish maintains the moisture better than a cookie sheet does.
