"This version is from the BBC Good Food website and is made with fresh basil, rather than the traditional fresh sage. They have it paired with a basil mashed potato dish which I personally didn't care for so feel free to serve it with whatever side you like."

ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 large basil leaves
2 slices prosciutto
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons marsala
100 ml chicken stock

directions

Sit the chicken breasts on a board and cut through them horizontally, leaving one side attached.
Open them up like a book and lay a basil leaf on top of each, topped with a slice of prosciutto.
Secure with a toothpick.
Heat the oil in a large, non-stick pan and add the chicken breasts, ham side down.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden, then turn over and cook for 2 minutes more.
Pour over the Marsala and allow to bubble for 1 minute.
Add the stock and simmer for 5 minutes, until the chicken is cooked.
Lift the chicken out, cover to keep warm, then boil the pan juices to reduce a little.
Serve with mashed potatoes and a green salad.

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
