Pan-Fried Stuffed Chicken With Prosciutto, Mozzarella And Basil - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
    4 small slice prosciutto or 4 small smoked ham
    2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 4 slices
    8 basil leaves, plus
    1/4 cup thinly sliced basil leaves
    2 teaspoons olive oil
    1/2 cup chicken broth
    2 tablespoons honey mustard
    1 garlic clove, minced
Preparation
    Heat oven to 350\u00b0.
    Cut each chicken breast in half crosswise to make 4 portions. Cut a slit into the sides of each portion. Insert a slice of prosciutto, a slice of cheese and 2 whole basil leaves into each slit. Secure well with a toothpick.
    Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot; add the chicken. Reduce heat to medium; cook, turning once, until chicken is browned, about 3 minutes per side.
    Transfer chicken to a baking pan.
    Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 15-18 minutes.
    Transfer to a platter.
    Meanwhile, heat the broth, mustard and garlic to a boil in the same skillet over high heat; cook until slightly thickened, 5 minutes. Stir in sliced basil; pour over chicken.
