Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 2 cups Cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 0.75 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge the chicken lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium and add the prosciutto slices to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until crisp, then remove and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Let the wine simmer for 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, along with any juices collected on the plate. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Crumble the cooked prosciutto over the chicken and sauce.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
