Prosciutto and FontinaStuffed Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Sauce Recipe

• 4 boneless chicken breast halves with skin (each about 8 ounces), pounded to an even 1/2-inch thickness
• Kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 4 large, thin slices prosciutto
• 4 to 6 ounces Fontina cheese, cut into thin slices
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 tablespoonsunsalted butter
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 pound sliced cremini or wild mushrooms
• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
2. Lie the breasts boned side up on a work surface.
3. Top with the prosciutto and Fontina, folding it to fit evenly on each chicken breast half and leaving a border around the entire breast.
4. Roll the breasts lengthwise to enclose the filling and tie tightly with kitchen string in 4 to 5 places to secure the chicken.
5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large, heavy, ovenproof frying pan, warm the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
6. Add the rolled chicken breasts and pan-sear, turning often, until browned all over, about 8 minutes.
7. Drain off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat.
8. Transfer to the oven to finish cooking, about 10 minutes; the chicken should read 165 degrees F at the center when tested with a meat thermometer.
9. Set aside to rest for about 10 minutes while you make the sauce.
10. In a frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter.
11. Saute the shallot, mushrooms, thyme, and a pinch of salt, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
12. Stir in the chicken broth and white wine and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes.
13. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
14. Remove the thyme stems.
15. Serve the chicken with the sauce.
