This is another great 'after work' recipe I've found recently in the Chicago Tribune. The trib credits the 'Chef Kathleen's Cooking Thin Daybook' for this one.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°.
- Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise to make 4 portions. Cut a slit into the sides of each portion. Insert a slice of prosciutto, a slice of cheese and 2 whole basil leaves into each slit. Secure well with a toothpick.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot; add the chicken. Reduce heat to medium; cook, turning once, until chicken is browned, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer chicken to a baking pan.
- Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 15-18 minutes.
- Transfer to a platter.
- Meanwhile, heat the broth, mustard and garlic to a boil in the same skillet over high heat; cook until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in sliced basil; pour over chicken.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Make sure the mozzarella cheese is well-chilled before slicing it, as this will help prevent it from melting too quickly.
- If you are using a large skillet, you may need to cook the mozzarella-wrapped prosciutto in batches.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet, as this will prevent the mozzarella from cooking evenly.
- Cook the mozzarella-wrapped prosciutto over medium heat, so that the cheese has time to melt and the prosciutto has time to crisp up.
- Serve the mozzarella-wrapped prosciutto immediately, as it is best when hot and crispy.
Conclusion:
Pan-fried mozzarella wrapped in prosciutto is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover mozzarella cheese and prosciutto, and it can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. So next time you are looking for a quick and tasty snack, give this recipe a try!
