Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Place two slices of Prosciutto on each chicken breast, followed by a slice of mozzarella cheese.

  2. 2

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, prosciutto side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and the mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender, about 4-5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add the Marsala wine and fresh sage to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow to reduce for about 3-4 minutes.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce and mushrooms over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Serve immediately.
