Okay, I don't know where this recipe came from and I'm not laying claim to it. I was in North Carolina recently visiting friends and this was served. I then served it to friends at home after making some minor modifications. It worked both times remarkably well. I'll give you both recipes and let you decide which is best. It's basically a Prosciutto Chicken Wrap.
Recipe #1 -
Prosciutto slices
Smoked Chicken breast sliced thin
Swiss Cheese slices to match chicken slices
Place one piece of smoked chicken breast on a slice of prosciutto. Place a slice of swiss cheese on top of the chicken. Roll the proscuitto around the chicken and cheese and continue rolling until the proscuitto is wrapped around the chicken and cheese several times. Heat in the microwave until the cheese is melted. Serve warm, but not so hot that the cheese burns people's mouths.
Recipe #2 -
Prosciutto slices
Grilled Chicken breast sliced thin
Swiss Cheese slices to match chicken slices
Grill chicken breast to completeness making certain to char it perfectly. Cool the chicken to insure the breast stays juicy. 20 minutes before serving, preheat oven to 400. While oven is preheating, slice cooled chicken diagonally across the chicken breast so slices match the width of prosciutto slices. Place one piece of chicken on prosciutto and place one piece of cheese on top of chicken. Roll prosciutto around chicken and cheese. Place wrap on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with oil with seam side down. Bake in oven until cheese is melted and prosciutto ends are crispy, about 10 minutes. Serve warm and don't plan on leftovers.
The flavor combination is amazing and can be enhanced with herbs or mushrooms. Play with the basic recipe until you have it the way you like it. I prefer the oven method versus the microwave method since the ham is nicer when it's crispy.
Enjoy!!
