Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  • 4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 4 thin slices prosciutto or fully cooked ham
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (1 ounce)
  • 4 fresh basil leaves

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oil in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in oil 6 minutes. Turn chicken; brush with mustard and top with prosciutto. Cook 6 to 8 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
  • 2
    Sprinkle cheese over chicken. Cook about 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Garnish with basil.

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves vary considerably in size. For this recipe, select ones that are about 5 ounces each. Be sure that they are all the same size so they cook in the same amount of time.
  • Serve this Italian-style dish with steamed green beans and warm breadsticks. Italian gelato and biscotti for dessert keep with the Italian theme.
