Recipe information

  • Total Time

    40 minutes

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup coarsely grated Fontina cheese
1/3 cup (packed) soft garlic-herb cheese (such as Boursin)
1/3 cup (packed) chopped prosciutto
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
4 large boneless chicken breast halves with skin
2 tablespoons chilled butter, divided
3/4 cup low-salt chicken broth
1/2 cup dry Marsala

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine cheeses, prosciutto, and basil in small bowl. Season stuffing with freshly ground black pepper.

    Step 2

    Run fingers under skin of chicken breasts to loosen. Spread stuffing under skin. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through, turning once, about 10 minutes. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet; place in oven to keep warm. Add broth and marsala to skillet; bring to boil and cook until sauce is reduced to scant 1/2 cup, scraping up browned bits, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in 1 tablespoon butter. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Place chicken on plates. Add any juices from baking sheet to sauce. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
