Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken

So I was cleaning out my Pinterest the other day, and I came across a recipe that I thought, "Nah, that looks too complicated, I'll never make that" and then I clicked on it and it included about 7 ingredients and looked super simple so I tweaked it a little for myself and made it and it was ah-maz-zing! First time around it was easy and the next few times just got simpler, I don't even look at the recipe anymore. And he beauty is, you can substitute bacon (which, OBVIOUSLY, I have done). It's a fabulous recipe to make when you want people to think you're gourmet because it looks like something you'd see in a restaurant. Use it to impress your friends (or your mom)!

Ingredients

• 4 - 6 chicken breasts, sliced thin
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 Tbsp flour, or more
• 4 - 8 slices prosciutto, enough to cover your chicken breasts
• 2 - 3 Tbsp olive oil
• large handful green beans (I didn't really measure I just went for it)
• 1/2 c. basil pesto
• 2/3 c. cream

Wrapped and cooking chicken

How To Cook It

• make sure your chicken breasts are on the thinner side, if not, pound them thinner
• season chicken breasts with pepper, to taste
• rub the chicken with flour
• wrap each chicken breast with prosciutto
• in a large skillet, heat the oil on medium
• when skillet is hot, add the wrapped chicken breasts (they should crackle just a little when you set them in)
• cook for 5 - 6 minutes and then flip and cook for another 4 - 5 minutes, until cooked through
• meanwhile boil about 3 inches of water in a small pot
• add the green beans to boiling water
• cook green beans for about 5 minutes
• immediately rinse green beans with cold water and set aside
• in a small bowl, whisk together the pesto and cream
• when the chicken is cooked, pour the pesto/cream sauce over the chicken and add the green beans
• bring the mixture to a boil and then turn off the heat
• enjoy!
