Recipe Introduction


I have eaten this at Carraba's and is is so wonderful.

Carrabba's Pollo Rosa Maria

8 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 lb. sliced prosciutto
1/4 lb. sliced fontina cheese
1/2 lb. butter
1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
1 Tbs. ground basil
Pepper
1/2 Cup white wine
2 Tbs. cornstarch
large toothpicks

Slice a 'pocket' in each chicken breast. Stuff with cheese and proscuttio.
Skewer closed with toothpicks. Brown lightly, pepper to taste. Bake in Dutch
Oven, approx. 30 minutes. Remove and keep warm. Saut� mushrooms in 1/4 cup
butter and drippings. Remove mushrooms and keep warm. Add remaining butter
and heat until it just begins to bubble. Thicken with wine/cornstarch. Add
basil and mushrooms. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

Notes:
It is easier to cut the pocket in the chicken breasts when they are slightly
frozen. Add the basil just before serving or the sauce will take on a
strange green color.
