Tuscan Chicken Rolls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lb)
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
    2 slices thin prosciutto, cut in half crosswise
    8 large basil leaves
    1 roasted red pepper, cut into four pieces
    2 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced \"or\"shredded
    3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
    1/3 cup marsala wine
    1/3 cup chicken broth
Preparation
    Place the chicken breasts, one at a time, between pieces of heavy plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of 1/2 inch.
    Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
    Place one quarter each of the prosciutto, basil, red pepper and mozzarella in the center of each piece of chicken.
    Roll into a cylinder, tucking in the ends.
    Secure with a toothpick.
    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
    Add the chicken and cook, turning carefully, so that all sides of the chicken are golden and nearly cooked through, about 12 minutes.
    Transfer to a plate.
    Add the Marsala and chicken broth to the skillet, stirring up any browned bits at the bottom of the skillet.
    Bring to a boil.
    Return chicken and any juices, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
    Uncover, raise heat to high, and reduce sauce slightly, about 1 minute.
