- 4 large chicken breasts about 3 pounds, cut in half width wise
- 4 oz prosciutto 8 slices
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 8 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum or glucomannan
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 12 oz mozzarella cheese thinly sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Preheat frying pan over medium heat. Wrap each chicken breast in a piece of prosciutto.
- Pan-sear two or three pieces at a time until golden.
- Transfer to a large baking dish. Top with the sliced mozzarella. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reads 160 degrees when checked with a meat thermometer.
- Meanwhile, add the garlic to the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until softened. Add the broth to the pan and turn up the heat. Scrap any browned bits off the bottom. They give the sauce tons of flavor.
