How to Make Prosciutto Garlic And Herb Cheese Stuffed Chicken With Tarragon

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of waxed paper. Gently pound each breast to 1/4-inch thickness, working from the center outward.
On each pounded chicken breast, place one slice of prosciutto (approx. 3 inches x 2 inches).
Top each prosciutto slice with 1/4 of the cheese mixture (about 1/4 cup).
Carefully roll up each chicken breast tightly, tucking in the sides. Secure with toothpicks.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Season the stuffed chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken to the skillet and brown on all sides for about 10-12 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Once melted, whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.
Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of dry white wine, cooking until slightly reduced (about 1 minute).
Stir in 1 cup of chicken stock and 1 tablespoon of fresh tarragon. Bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the toothpicks.
Serve the chicken whole or sliced, spooning the delicious tarragon sauce over the top.
