Prosciutto Fontina Chicken With Lemon Mushroom Sauce Recipes

PROSCIUTTO & FONTINA CHICKEN WITH A LEMON MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Using a large non-stick skillet, heat the 2 Tablespoons of olive oil over medium high heat. Saute the onions until they begin to soften (about 3 minutes). Stir in the mushrooms and continue to cook over medium-high heat until mushrooms are soft, about 7-8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the butter and pour in the lemon juice. Stir well, until the butter is completely melted. Add the chicken broth, salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened (about 8-10 minutes). Cover and keep warm until ready to use.
• In a small bowl, combine the salt, oregano and black pepper. Sprinkle over both sides of the chicken breasts, to coat. Grill the chicken over medium high heat until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the chicken.)
• Preheat the broiler (if your oven requires preheating) and adjust oven rack to the center position. Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a sheet pan. Place one slice of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast, then follow up with a slice (or 1 ounce) of fontina cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted (only a few minutes).
• To serve, place the chicken on a large serving platter and spoon the mushroom sauce evenly over top. Garnish with the sliced basil leaves.
