Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, ensuring both sides are coated evenly.
Wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto. Secure the edges with a toothpick if necessary.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the wrapped chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes per side or until the prosciutto is crispy and the chicken is golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and fresh rosemary to the skillet, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165Β°F).
Remove the chicken breasts again and set them on a serving platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.
Stir the unsalted butter and lemon juice into the skillet sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve immediately, garnished with additional fresh rosemary if desired.
