Chicken Provolone
Sounds like a simple and easy dish, just six ingredients as well. On my to make and taste list.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 1 tablespoon butter
- black pepper, as desired
- 8 fresh basil leaves
- 4 slices thin proscuitto, or deli ham
- 4 slices Provolone cheese
Instructions
- In a large non stick pan on medium heat and add the butter. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with pepper as desired. When the butter is melted and the pan hot, add the chicken, cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
- Heat your broiler, and for those with counter top ovens, heat the top element to broil. Line a baking sheet with foil, and place the chicken on the foil.
- Top each piece of chicken with 2 basil leaves, 1 slice of prosciutto or ham, and 1 slice of cheese.
- Broil for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
- Serve with sides of your choice.
Notes
Lost cost per serving.
Variants: 1. Use fresh sage leaves in place of basil. 2. Use thin sliced salami in place of the prosciutto. 3. Use Swiss cheese in place of Provolone.
