Ingredients

• Skinless Chicken Breasts     4 Boneless
• Prosciutto                             4 Slices
• Mozzarella Cheese               4 Slices
• Tomato Sauce                       1 cup
• All-Purpose Flour                 1/4 cup
• Beaten Eggs                          2 Large
• BreadCrumbs                        1 cup
• Grated Parmesan Cheese      1/4 cup
• Olive Oil                               2 Tbsp
• Salt and pepper                     (to taste)
• Fresh basil leaves                 (to garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Carefully butterfly each breast by slicing it horizontally, but not all the way through. Open the breasts like a book, creating a larger, thinner piece of chicken.

3. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. Take one slice of prosciutto and one slice of mozzarella cheese, and place them on top of a chicken cutlet. Fold the cutlet in half to enclose the prosciutto and cheese. Repeat this step for the remaining cutlets.

5. In three separate shallow dishes, prepare a breading station. Place flour in the first dish, beaten eggs in the second dish, and breadcrumbs mixed with grated Parmesan cheese in the third dish.

6. Dip each stuffed chicken cutlet into the flour, coating both sides. Shake off any excess flour.

7. Next, dip the floured cutlet into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated.

8. Transfer the cutlet to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to both sides. Repeat this process for all the cutlets.

9. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets into the skillet. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

10. Remove the browned chicken cutlets from the skillet and transfer them to a baking dish. Pour the marinara or tomato sauce over the chicken, ensuring each cutlet is generously covered.

11. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese has melted.

12. Once done, remove the chicken sorrentino from the oven. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.

13. Serve the chicken sorrentino on individual plates, garnishing with fresh basil leaves for an added touch of flavor and presentation.

Chef's Remarks: Indulge in the delightful combination of flavors and textures in this classic Italian dish. The tender chicken, crispy prosciutto, and gooey melted cheese, all complemented by the tangy tomato sauce, create a symphony of taste that will transport you to Italy for sure.
