Chicken with Ham and Cheese

Chicken with ham and cheese

This is a totally satisfying chicken recipe that comes out of the Italian cookbook I'm always going on about.

HERE'S HOW EASY IT IS

Serves 4

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup flour, seasoned with salt & fresh ground pepper for dredging
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 4 thin slices of prosciutto or cooked ham
  • 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan or Romano cheese

Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise to make 2 flat fillets the same thickness. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.

Preheat the broiler on low. Heat the oil in a large heavy frying pan. Add the chicken in one layer and cook over low to medium heat until golden brown on both sides, turning as necessary.

Remove the chicken from the heat, and arrange on a sheet pan or glass casserole dish. Place one piece of ham on each chicken fillet and top with shredded cheese. Broil for 3-4 minutes or until the cheese has melted.
