Tiffany's Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken

This is, hands down, one of my favorite chicken recipes! The Prosciutto makes the dish, and I always serve with a steamed vegetable and homemade mashed red potatoes or steamed red potatoes.



6 thinly cut chicken breasts
8 thin slices - Prosciutto (I highly recommend Boar's Head)
1c. Mozzarella Cheese
1c. Grated Parmesan Cheese
1 sm. can chopped black olives
1 sm. package fresh basil (finely chopped)

1. In a small bowl, mix mozzarella, parmesan, black olives and basil until well blended.
2. On a plate, lay out one slice of prosciutto. Lay one raw chicken breast onto the prosciutto.
3. Spoon cheese / basil mixture on the chicken breast and wrap the sides of the prosciutto around the chicken (covering the cheese mixture) and place into greased cooking pan.
4. Repeat step #3 until all chicken breasts are in cooking pan.
5. This should leave you with two slices of Prosciutto, I normally lay these arcross the chicken in the pan and sprinkle any remaining cheese mixture on top for extra flavor.
6. Cook at 400 degrees for 25minutes or until juices run clear and there is no more pink.

Serve!
