Crispy Herbed Chicken with Prosciutto

Crispy Herbed Chicken with Prosciutto

Chicken, Italian dry-cured ham and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese form a delicious trinity of flavor.

Pounding chicken breasts helps them cook evenly. A quick sauté keeps them moist. Due to the size of the pounded chicken, you'll need to use an extra-large skillet or to cook the chicken in two batches.
