Steps:

• Place a chicken breast between plastic wrap, and pound until about 1" thick. Using a boning knife, slice the breast in half lengthwise, leaving one long side together. Repeat with all chicken breasts. Place the chicken in a bowl, cover with buttermilk, and allow to marinade for 20-30 minutes.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet with a little EVOO over medium heat. Place breadcrumbs on a plate; set aside.

Making sure the breast is still coated in buttermilk, dip it in the breadcrumbs to coat. Place the chicken in the hot pan.

SMOKED GOUDA AND PROSCIUTTO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Pound the chicken until it is uniform in thickness and fairly thin (about 1/2 inch). Season to taste with salt and a grinding of black pepper. Place 1/4 cup smoked Gouda on half of each piece of chicken. (For 7- to 8-ounce breast halves, use about 1/3 cup cheese each.) Fold the other half of the chicken, enclosing the cheese completely.
• Place 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each stuffed breast; tuck the ends of the prosciutto under the chicken. Season with freshly cracked black pepper. Place the bundles in a greased, ovenproof saute pan or stovetop-safe baking pan. Bake until a thermometer inserted into the chicken reads 160 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove chicken from the pan; keep warm while preparing the sauce.
• Pour fat from the pan; discard. Place the pan on the stove over high heat; add cream. Cook until cream is reduced by half, whisking constantly. Add roasted-garlic puree, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Spoon over stuffed chicken breasts and serve.
