Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices prosciutto
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. In a shallow dish, combine flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture.
- Coat chicken: In a separate dish, beat the eggs. Dip the floured chicken breasts into the beaten eggs, then coat in breadcrumbs.
- Cook chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Add prosciutto: Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add the prosciutto slices to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until crisp.
- Make sauce: Pour marinara sauce and heavy cream into the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Assemble: Place the cooked chicken breasts on a plate. Top with the prosciutto and the creamy sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
