Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mushrooms

    Clean the mushrooms and slice them thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Prosciutto

    Chop the prosciutto into small strips or pieces.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms and Garlic

    In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and browned, about 5-6 minutes.

  3. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the chopped prosciutto and pour in the Marsala wine. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  4. 7

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

  5. 8

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded smoked mozzarella over the chicken mixture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.

  6. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Once the cheese is melted, remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.
