CHICKEN WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO AND MARJORAM

Category: Chicken

5 boneless skinless chicken breasts
10 slices prosciutto
Chopped fresh marjoram or sage leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 jar of your favorite tomato sauce

Heat oven to 400. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cover chicken with a layer of plastic wrap and light pound them with the smooth side of a meat mallet until 1/2 inch thick. Cover the smooth side of each breast with 2 slices of prosciutto and wrap the chicken around the prosciutto to make a bundle. Secure with a wooden toothpick. Top each bundle with the chopped marjoram or sage leaves.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderately high heat and saute the chicken bundles 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove toothpicks, leaving the herbs on top, and transfer chicken bundles to a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes or until done. Serves 5
