Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 0.333 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 slices Prosciutto slices
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, approximately 1/2 inch, to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 5

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Once the butter has melted and starts to bubble, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.

Step 8

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.

Step 9

Add the chicken broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Lower the heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Continue to stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 11

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top of each piece.

Step 12

Place a slice of prosciutto over each chicken breast, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Step 13

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or if your skillet is not oven-safe, transfer everything to a baking dish) and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 14

Garnish the dish with fresh chopped basil before serving.

Step 15

Serve the Chicken Flamingo hot, along with your favorite pasta, risotto, or a side of sautéed vegetables.
