Equipment
  • Pastry brash
  • small bowl
  • grill pan
  • Large skillet
Ingredients
  
  • ½ cup of 1 stick of butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 6-ounce boneless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup of melted butter
  • 1 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs
  • 1½ cups chicken stock
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • Juice from ½ a lemon
  • ¾ cup sliced button mushrooms
  • 2 tbsp prosciutto
  • 8 ounces Provel cheese
Instructions
 
  • Combine 1 stick of butter with the flour in a small mixing bowl. Mix it with a fork until there is a lovely creamy paste. Then set aside. 
  • Rinse boneless and skinless chicken breasts under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Place the breadcrumbs on the plate and lightly brush all sides of the chicken with ½ the melted butter. 
    Coat the chicken in the breadcrumbs and dab the remaining melted butter over the crumbs with the pastry brush to moisten them.
  • Place a grill pan over medium heat and turn the broiler low. Grill or broil the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until cooked thoroughly. Then set the chicken breasts aside. 
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. 
    Then bring the chicken stock to boil in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat
  • Once the stock boils, whisk in the butter and flour creamy mixture. Bring the pot back to boil and continue whisking until the sauce thickens. But note it should also be pourable. 
    Then whisk in the wine and lemon juice and boil the heat to simmer.
  • Add mushrooms and diced prosciutto to the sauce. Allow it to simmer for another 5-10 minutes. After that, add grilled chicken breast to the pan with the sauce. 
  • Top each breast with cheese, then place the skillet in the oven to bake for about 4 minutes until the cheese melts. 
  • Transfer the chicken to the serving plates and spoon the sauce with the mushroom and prosciutto over it. Serve right away and enjoy the tender chicken with the savory sauce!
