Ingredients

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves

4 paper-thin slices speck or prosciutto

2-3 tsp. chopped fresh sage

2 tbs. hard cheese such as aged goat's cheese, grated, or even cheddar if you like

salt and pepper

flour, for dredging

olive oil, a fairly good amount

one lemon

Directions

Pound each breast half out to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper and set on a plate.

Place the speck or prosciutto on the chicken, then sprinkle over the cheese and sage evenly on each half. Fold the chicken in half, so the stuffing stays in.

Dredge the chicken in the flour.

Heat the olive oil in a pan large enough to hold the chicken. You want it to come up the side about 1/4 inch.

When hot, add the stuffed chicken and brown it nicely on both sides until it's cooked through. This may take a while and if it's getting too dry on the outside and isn't cooking through, you may want to finish them in the oven. It took me a couple of times to get it nice and browned on the outside without drying out.

To serve, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the chicken and maybe sprinkle with a bit more sage.

I just wanted to add that you could use any combination of fresh chopped herbs that you like--basil, parsley, etc. Same goes for cheeses, although you don't want it too soft since all of it might just ooze out of the middle when it melts!
