Ingredients

• salt to taste
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 4 slices prosciutto
• 4 cloves garlic, halved
• 4 slices smoked fontina cheese
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.5 cup white wine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Step 2

Use a knife or grater to sharpen the thick ends of the rosemary sprigs. Soak sprigs in water for at least 10 minutes.

Step 3

Layer each chicken breast with 1 slice fontina and 1 slice prosciutto. Roll tightly, and skewer each with a rosemary sprig to secure.

Step 4

In a bowl, whisk together the wine, broth, oil and pepper. Pour into a medium baking dish. Place rolled chicken breasts in the dish. Place 2 garlic halves under each breast.

Step 5

Bake 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until chicken juices run clear. Remove from baking dish, reserving sauce, and allow to stand 5 minutes.

Step 6

Transfer remaining sauce to a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Drizzle over chicken to serve. Season chicken with salt to taste.
