Chicken Rossini

Submitted by Greffete

"This was inspired by a local Italian Restaurant. We loved the light sauce and smoked flavor. It was great with a salad and breadsticks. I pounded out the breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking."

Really easy to do in advance and bake right when you need it. This would be a great company recipe. The sauce is very light and nice and wonderful over pasta, but I also think it would be good on a bed of spinach, for a very light main course. Pretty colors, tastes everyone will like, you can't go wrong with this one!

10 stars! This is absolutely WONDERFUL. Can't wait to make this for guests. The chicken turned out moist, tender and flavorful. Plus it is so easy to prepare which is an extra added bonus. The addition of the ham, tomatoes and cheeses really puts this over the top. I highly recommend this to everyone. Thanks so much for sharing, Greffete.
