Ingredients
1lbchicken breastfour pieces
1/4cupall-purpose flour
1/2tspkosher salt+ 1/4 tsp, divided
fresh cracked pepper
olive oil spray
2shallotssliced
8ozmushrooms
½cupSherry wine
½cupreduced sodium chicken broth
4 slicesprosciutto di parma
2ozfresh mozzarella
Instructions
Add the 1/2 tsp kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper to the flour in a shallow dish; combine.
Tenderize the pieces of chicken, and then dredge them in the flour to coat thoroughly.
Preheat a frying pan over medium high heat. Add a generous spray of olive oil to the pan, add two pieces of the chicken to the pan, and more olive oil spray on top.
Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown (it will not be cooked through). Remove the partially cooked chicken, and repeat this step with the remaining two pieces.
Once the chicken is all pre-cooked, add more olive oil spray to the pan and reduce the heat to medium.
Add the mushrooms and sliced shallots. Cover with a lid for about 5 minutes, to get them to steam and cook down, then remove the lid and let them sauté.
Cook the shallots and mushrooms for about 10 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
Deglaze the pan with the wine and broth.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then add the par-cooked chicken and residual juices to the pan.
Simmer the chicken for another 10 minutes or until cooked through and the sauce thickens.
Top each piece of chicken with a slice of prosciutto, and 1/2 ounce of mozzarella. Cover with a lid to melt the cheese.
