Chicken-Prosciutto Roll ups

When trying to think up of something good to make for this past New Years Eve dinner I came up with this recipe, and we have made it 2 times since then since it was so good. After the recipe there are photos for each step up to it being plated (sans veggie..)

Sides that go well with dish:
Mushrooms sauce
Wild Mushroom/Parm Risotto
Asparagus Almondine

A few nice things about this recipe:
  • easy to pack the roll up for lunch
  • slices up great for a sandwich
  • takes up little room in fridge
  • yummy
Pre-Heat oven to 425 degrees

Serving size: 3-6 roll ups*

->3 Chicken breasts
->Slices of Prosciutto -will be dependent on how many chix breast send up with -GET IMPORTED..only way to go! If you dont eat pork, you could replace with a veggie like a roasted red pepper.
 ->Shaved Parmesan Cheese- I prefer to shave my own of a chuck of cheese since only way to get the good     stuff here is in big chucks.. Again, imported is best!
->3-6 med-large Sage Leaves (FRESH only)
->ground pepper to taste

How to whip this bad boy up:

1) Clean chicken breast to your liking

2) Next step is optional depending how comfortable you are with a knife--> so I prefer to cut the breast into 2 pieces, so that it is 1/2 as thick.

3) Slice cheese into thin sliced then, cut into cube like pieces, pick sage

4) Put down parchment paper, put chicken onto paper with an inch between each, then cover the chicken with saran wrap

5) With a meat tenderizer (like this one) and gently beat the meat with the textured side so that it becomes thinner, then remove wrap but keep we will use again.

6) Place a few small pieces of cheese in middle of the breast, place 2 leaves of sage side to side over the cheese, then place a slice of prosciutto over the chicken (in some cases you dont need entire piece of prosciutto)

7) place wrap back over and lightly beat the chicken again so the prosciutto adheres to the chicken.

8) remove the wrap and season with pepper, I dont use salt since the prosciutto is cured in turn being salty and the cheese is too.

9) gently roll it , then place it onto a ungreased baking sheet

10) bake 10-12 minutes
