Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds (4 pieces) boneless, skinless chicken breast, about 6 ounces each
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 large clove garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 4 slices smoked or fresh mozzarella, 1/2-inch thick
  • 8 slices speck or prosciutto di Parma
  • 8 slices vine-ripe tomato
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • A few leaves of basil, torn

Yield

Serves: 4

Preparation

Heat oven to 400F. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add butter and garlic clove, and melt butter into oil. Add chicken and lightly brown 2-3 minutes per side then remove to plate.

Sprinkle chopped thyme over chicken and top each piece with a slice of cheese and then wrap with speck or prosciutto di Parma. Arrange chicken on a baking sheet and drizzle with about 1 tablespoon olive oil to lightly coat. Bake 15-20 minutes and remove; switch on broiler.

Arrange tomatoes on a baking sheet and cover them with Parm and breadcrumbs. Broil until golden, 3 minutes or so. Arrange 2 slices of broiled tomatoes on each chicken breast, garnish with torn basil and serve.
