A simple-to-fix wine sauce complements this impressive entree. I love when my husband asks me to make this because I love it, too. —Tonya Daugherty, Mansfield, Texas

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each)
2 slices Swiss cheese (3/4 ounce each)
2 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Marsala wine or chicken broth
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary or 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Dash salt
Dash pepper

Directions

Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; place one cheese and prosciutto slice down the center of each. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; secure with toothpicks.
In a small skillet, brown chicken in butter and oil on all sides; transfer to an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°.
In the same skillet, saute onion and garlic until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add wine. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Discard toothpicks from chicken rolls; serve with sauce.

Excellent recipe. I've made the roll ups before, but the sauce in this recipe definitely takes it a whole new level of flavor. I did not have prosciutto on hand, so I substituted hickory cured ham.
