.
For the chicken:
– chicken breasts, sliced lengthwise in half to make thinner chicken breasts
– Slices of prosciutto
– Small jar of pesto
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs and 1 cup grated Parmesan mixed together
– Olive oil for frying
.
Preheat oven to 350.
.
Coat the chicken in the pesto. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around. Dredge in the breadcrumb and Parmesan – just kind of pack it on with your hands – it will stick because of the pesto.
.
Heat some olive oil in a frying pan (cast iron is Queen!), and when hot, add the chicken (not crowding the pan – do it in batches), and fry for a couple minutes a side or until crispy. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through – another 10 minutes or so.
.
Transfer to a platter, top with tomatoes and some shredded basil.
.
Chefs kiss! Enjoy!
