Prosciutto Wrapped Sherry Cream Chicken Skillet

PROSCUITTO WRAPPED SHERRY CREAM CHICKEN SKILLET is our favorite EASY and quick dinner! So much flavor and made in under 30 minutes. The cream sauce…I can’t get enough!

You know those recipes that you think about over and over. You’re laying in bed and you’re like “OMG do I still have leftovers of THAT AMAZING RECIPE that I can eat tomorrow??”. Or “I HAVE TO MAKE THAT RECIPE TOMORROW BECAUSE I’M CRAVING IT BAAAAD”. Typically, I feel that way about an amazing steak at an amazing restaurant. But I also feel that way about this Prosciutto Wrapped Sherry Cream Chicken Skillet. When I say it’s one of my all-time favorites, I mean that as I was cleaning the skillet I actually took my finger and licked the remaining sauce. Sorry not sorry. It’s THAT good and I can’t wait for you to try it. Be warned…you’ll want to eat it every day!

This is basically an easier, updated, one pan version of another favorite from WAAAAYYY back in the blog archives, Smokey Sherry Chicken. Look at those pictures at your own risk my friends. I’m not saying I have learned all there is to learn, but YIKES those pics. Anyway, The flavors here remind me so much of my favorite flavors there. But like I said, this is easier, quicker, and made in ONE PAN. You guys know how I feel about skillet meals. If you forgot: I LOVE THEM. One pan to clean up…YASSS. Cannot get enough. One day it might be all I do. I love them that much.

I gotta admit, I’m pretty proud of this recipe. I know it’s nothing mind-blowing. The flavors have been done before in plenty of different ways. But it tastes SO good. I’ll make this Sherry Cream Chicken Skillet again and again, long after I’m done blogging. You can make it at home just for yourself (again…ONE PAN), or have friends over and feel like chef extraordinaire as they praise you for your prowess in the kitchen. They don’t have to know how easy it is. I mean, you could do me a solid and tell them about the blog, but I’m also fine if you take all the credit. :)

Serve this delicious, moist (I hate that word as much as you but it had to be said!), flavorful, and EASY chicken with rice, over pasta, or by itself. You can’t go wrong. And try not to pour the sauce into a cup and drink it. Serve it with wine instead. But you’ll want to drink it. Just saying.

Prosciutto Wrapped Sherry Cream Chicken Skillet, Enjoy!!

Ingredients

• 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large slices proscuitto
• 3 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil divided
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup cooking sherry (dry or medium dry)
• 2 cups low fat sour cream
• 2 fresh sprigs rosemary
• shredded parmesan as garnish optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap each piece of chicken with a slice of prosciutto, pushing down the edges to adhere.
3. Heat the butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 10" skillet over medium high heat. Swirl the mixture around in order to coat the entire base of the skillet.
4. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. You want the chicken to be browned on both sides and nearly cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and saute the garlic for 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and translucent. Scrape the brown bits in the pan to the center as you cook, that's where all the flavor lives!
6. Add the cooking sherry to the skillet and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and whisk in the sour cream 1 cup at a time, until the cream sauce forms. Lay the rosemary into the skillet. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
7. Place the chicken back into the skillet, nestled in the sauce.
8. Bake, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and heated through.
9. Serve with rice, pasta, or on it's own, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
10. Enjoy!
