ingredients
- 6 boneless chicken breasts, with skins on
- 6 slices Fontina cheese
- 6 slices prosciutto di Parma
- 8 ounces tomato sauce (bottled or store bought)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
directions
- With a mallet, gently pound each chicken breast between waxed paper.
- The breasts should be one inch thick.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place one slice of proscuitto on top of each chicken breast.
- With the back of your knife, tap the proscuitto lightly on the chicken breast.
- This will make the proscuitto adhere to the chicken.

- Turn heat to medium/high.
- Lay each piece of chicken, proscuitto side down, into the oiled pan.
- Turn the heat down to medium.

- Moving the chicken around will cause it to become tough.
- Cook for 3- 4 minutes or until golden brown on one side.
- Gently turn the chicken pieces over and continue to cook.
- While the chicken is browning, add the tomato sauce to the pan.
- Continue to cook the chicken in the tomato sauce for another 3- 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour into the tomato sauce.
- The sauce will begin to thicken.
- Once this side is golden brown, lay one slice of fontina cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Place the skillet into the preheated oven and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, plate and serve with pasta, rice or lentils.
- Serve with crusty Italian bread.

I have been happily married now for 2 years. In the marriage, I inherited 2 terrific stepchildren. Nine months ago, I gave birth to a healthy baby boy. My life has changed immensely. Although I am still very sleep deprived, I take time out to surf the recipezaar website and love it. I don't really follow recipes too often. Usually I wing it or I make something from shows that I see on the foodtv network. I love the recipes on the Barefoot Contessa and Everyday Italian. I have a passion for home decorating and gardening. For years now I have been interested and learning about living a healthy/holistic lifestyle. It's very difficult. I'm looking so forward to the spring and summer months ahead so we can travel. My husband and I love to go the the beach. Water is so soothing. We enjoy entertaining at home and do so often.I guess one of my pet peeves would be, men who perm their hair!! I also have little patience for people with poor manners.
