- 1 whole skinless boneless chicken breast, halved lengthwise, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 8 small mushrooms (about 3 oz.), sliced thin
- 1/2 c. dry white wine
- 2 oz. Prosciutto, julienned
- 2 oz. Fontina cheese, sliced thin
- flour, seasoned with salt and pepper (for dredging)
- Dredge the chicken lightly in the seasoned flour.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter over moderately high heat until the foam subsides and in it, saute the chicken for 3 minutes per side, until it is browned lightly.

- Add the mushrooms to the skillet and saute them over moderately high heat for 1 minute.
- Add the wine; bring the liquid to a boil, stirring, and boil the mixture, scraping up the brown bits, for 1 minute.
- Add the chicken with any accumulated juices and Prosciutto; simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and season it with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the chicken with tongs to a flameproof baking dish; top it with the Fontina and put the dish under a preheated broiler about 2 inches from the heat for 1 minute or until the Fontina is melted and browned lightly.
