Chicken Rolled with Prosciutto and Fontina Cheese

A bit fancier than your typical grilling fare, the flavors of the prosciutto, fontina and chicken along with the sage blend to make a rich, salty bite.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast halves
  • 4 slices Fontina cheese
  • 4 slices Prosciutto
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 4 sage leaves fresh
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Flatten each chicken breast individually.  On a large cutting board, on a strong, stable surface, place the chicken breast half between two pieces of plastic wrap.  Alton suggests that we put a little water on the chicken and on top of the plastic wrap to keep the chicken from sticking and let the plastic slide around a bit.
  • Using a large, heavy frying pan, or a mallet, or a rolling pin, or a can of soup (or a bowling ball?), pound the chicken breast until it is about an 1/8 of an inch to 1/4 inch thick.
  • Add a slice of prosciutto to the chicken.  Add a slice of Fontina on top of the prosciutto.
  • Roll up the chicken and use a few toothpicks to secure the roll.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Repeat for the rest of the chicken breast.
  • Prepare the grill for direct medium heat grilling.
  • Place the chicken rolls on the grill and cook each side about 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown and they reach an internal temperature of 165° F (use your instant read thermometer)
  • Fry up the sage leaves in the butter, a minute or so on each side 'til a bit crispy.  Top the chicken with the sage leaves and butter for a nice touch.
