Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1lb)
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 4 slices Italian Fontina Val d' Aosta cheese (1/8 lb)
- 4 slices thinly sliced Prosciutto di Parma (1/6 lb)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Lemon wedges for garnish
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Directions:
Preheat oven temperature to broil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Place one slice of cheese on top of each breast. Wrap each breast with one
slice of prosciutto, trying to keep the loose end on the bottom. Place the
breast on a baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil.
Broil until the prosciutto starts to char a little (about 1 minute); lower
oven temperature to 350°F, and bake 12 to 14 minutes or until chicken
is done. Place chicken on serving platter, and drizzle with some of the juices/oil
from the pan. Sprinkle with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.
