- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Cooking Tips:

- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before cooking to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent the prosciutto from sticking to the pan.

5. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
7. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through.
8. Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
9. Add the white wine and chicken broth to the skillet and bring to a boil.
10. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by half.
