Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 35-40 minutes

6	boneless, skinless chicken breasts
6	slices prosciutto
6	slices provolone cheese
1/2	cup fresh basil, chopped
1/3	cup butter, melted
1	cup panko bread crumbs
	heavy-duty round toothpicks

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

[1] Place the chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap and using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts thin. Season with salt and pepper and top each breast with a slice of the proscuitto, a slice of cheese and basil. Gently roll up into a log and secure tightly, using several toothpicks.

[2] Place the melted butter in a shallow dish and the breadcrumbs on a plate.

[3] Dip the chicken rolls in the melted butter and then roll in the breadcrumbs.

[4] Place the chicken rolls in a baking pan and cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes and remove the foil. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until browned and bubbly. Remove the toothpicks and serve.

Sooooo.... I didn't have a mallet or the toothpicks, so I decided to just put the prosciutto, cheese and bread crumbs on top of the chicken. I mixed the butter with the bread crumbs and basil before hand and smushed them on top. It was dang tasty, so maybe next time I will do the whole hammer thing.
