Ingredients
1. For the sauce and add-ins
2. For the chicken
Step-by-Step Method
Prep the ingredients
Slice the mushrooms and finely chop the garlic. Keep the broccoli frozen; it will heat through in the sauce.
Sear the chicken
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Heat the olive oil and half the butter in a skillet, then sear the chicken 3–4 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Sauté mushrooms and garlic
Move the chicken to a plate. In the same pan, sauté the mushrooms for 2–3 minutes. Add the garlic and stir briefly until fragrant.
Build the pan sauce
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Scrape up the browned bits and simmer 4–5 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add broccoli and prosciutto
Stir in the frozen broccoli and the thin slices of cured pork. Cook 3–4 minutes so the broccoli heats and the sauce tightens.
Finish with cheese
Return the chicken to the skillet. Add the remaining butter and spoon sauce over the top. Sprinkle on the mixed cheese, cover, and cook 4–6 minutes until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve
Plate the chicken and spoon the sauce over it. If you like, serve with a simple salad or plain pasta.
