Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Stuffed with Sage Leaves and Provolone

If you are tired of ordinary chicken dishes, this is a great recipe for you.  It takes 5 minutes to prepare and 35 minutes to bake.  I am not sure how something so easy can taste so amazing, but it does.  My husband was making moaning sounds whilst eating this dish, so I know I must make it again. 

Just when I thought this dish couldn't get any better, I decided to make a sherry cream sauce to drizzle over the sliced chicken after I placed it on the platter.  I definitely recommend taking the extra step to bring this dish to a whole other level.




Ingredients

4 large boneless chicken breasts
12 fesh sage leaves
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8 slices of sliced prosciutto
4 slices of provolone cheese
salt and pepper

Slice the chicken breasts in half.
Stuff each breast with 3 sage leaves and 1 slice of cheese.
Wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each chicken breast.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 35 minutes.

Slice chicken and place on a platter.
