Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Breasts

Oh My! IF you want to impress someone by a chicken dish that will leave them asking for more and extremely delighted by the dish, then fix this! It is one of the most outstanding recipes for chicken I have ever tried! I got it off myrecipes.com. I adapted it to my liking. IT ROCKS! Also, a couple of tips, make sure your prosciutto is cold otherwise you will have trouble with the wrapping of the chicken and make sure your pan is thoroughly heated on medium for about 5 minutes before you put in olive oil. If it gets too hot, turn down heat. This is a really good dish to have with couscous. The prosciutto will be really crusty when finished cooking. It is beautiful!
