Notes: I’m not sure if I didn’t record amounts or it got lost in some formatting. I need to add them. Also, the chicken should be butterflied and then pounded pretty flat, so it cooks quicker and also wraps the prosciutto all the way.

Dinner
Last night's dinner: Salad, Chicken stuffed w/ Proscuttio, Sage and Cheese and Green Beans w/ Red Peppers and Water Chestnuts. Yum.
Chicken - each piece: 1 boneless/skinless breast, cut on three sides, 1 slice proscuttio, 1 chunk (1/4 inch x 1/4 inch or so and length of pros. Mozz.
Place sage leaf and Mozz on Pros and roll. You'll end up with pros/sage wrapped around the cheese. Stuff into the breast - seasoned with salt/pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in skillet. Place breast in skillet and season w/ salt/pepper. Saute on each side until desired color, cover and let simmer until done. Mabye 10 minutes.
Slice a fair amouznt of mushrooms (1/2 pound) and maybe 2 cloves garlic. Heat pan to very hot, but not smoking. Add a tiny amount of oil (just enough oil for the mushrooms to absorbe) and garlic to the pan. Saute mushrooms until done and no moisture in the pan. Deglaze w/ a cup of chicken stock, add some butter for flavor and some more olive oil. Add in sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Remove from heat and pour over chicken and serve.
I was a bit worried about all the flavors (all those in the sauce plus the sage in the chicken), but it worked out very nice.
Green Beans - blance them (boil for 4 minutes, plunge in cold water and drain). Add green beans and water chestnuts to hot skillet w/ olive oil. Saute for a few minutes, throw in diced canned red bell peppers, then serve.
