Cheesy Prosciutto Chicken

Here is a recipe that I think is pretty good.  It's nice to have something different once in a while and this is pretty easy to throw together.  Plus, it looks wonderful so it's sure to impress guests. 

Cheesy Prosciutto Chicken

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/3 c all-purpose flour
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
4 thin slices prosciutto or ham
4 slices mozzarella cheese (or provolone or swiss)
1 tsp chopped fresh sage leaves (optional)

Directions:

In a shallow dish, mix flour, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.  Dip chicken in flour mixture and shake off excess flour.  In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.  Add chicken and cook about 8 minutes or until no longer pink in the center, turning every few minutes to make sure it doesn't burn.  Place 1 slice of prosciutto or ham and 1 slice of mozzarella cheese on each chicken breast.   Cover skillet and cook another 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted.  If desired, sprinkle with fresh sage before serving.  

**Prosciutto is an Italian ham that is seasoned, salt-cured and air-dried.  You can replace it with thinly sliced deli ham if desired.  Feel free to use any kind of cheese you like.**
