Submitted by mlzelch

"I used to get this at The Pasta House all the time! Now that I can make it myself I actually tried the rest of their menu, which is excelent. This dish is really all about the sauce, the chicken is just a breaded fillet with nothing fancy. This will make four portions."

ingredients

• 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, butterflied open and then cut in half
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

directions

1. Bread the chicken by dipping fillets in flour first, then egg, then bread crumbs.
2. Heat olive oil in saute pan over medium heat. You want chicken to sizzle slightly when you place it in the pan. If the oil is to hot you will burn the breading before the chicken is done.once the chicken is in the oil do not move it until it naturally stops sticking to the pan and is ready to turn. About 4 or 5 minutes. Moving the chicken to soon will interfear with the browning of the breadcrumbs. turn chicken and cook another few minutes or until done.
3. Transfer chicken to a covered dish and sprinkle with cheese.
4. FOR SAUCE- in a medium bowl add stock, wine, lemon juice, garlic, and pepper then set aside.
5. melt butter in a saute pan and add the 2tbl flour and wisk together to make a paste.
6. Slowly add in sauce mixture while stirring to prevent lumps. bring it to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer a few minutes.
7. once sauce thickens remove from heat and stir in the mushrooms. pour over chicken and serve.
8. If desired you can cook the prosciutto until crispy and then crumble it over the chicken before adding sauce.
