1lemonjuice half the lemon, slice the remaining half
¼cupwhite winecan substitute chicken or veggie stock
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim any fat off the chicken breast if desired. Season it with salt and pepper. Wrap the chicken with slices of prosciutto and give it a quick drizzle of olive oil.
In a cast iron or oven safe skillet, melt the butter with the garlic and ½ teaspoon oregano, over medium high heat. Once the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant remove from heat. Add the 1 tablespoon dijon, lemon juice, lemon slices, and wine. Stir to combine.
Place the prosciutto wrapped chicken breast on top of the sauce. Bake in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. See notes for more on cooking times.
Notes
Smaller chicken breast cook 15 to 18 minutes, medium size cook 18 to 20 minutes, and for larger size chicken breast check doneness around 20 to 25 minutes.
If you don't have a fresh whole lemon, substitute 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Prosciutto di parma or standard sliced prosciutto will work perfectly. You could also do this with pancetta or very thinly sliced deli ham as well.
See post above for how to stuff the chicken with cheese.
