Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup white wine
1 1/2 cups fresh broccoli florets
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 6 ounces each; see note)
About 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
About 1 cup Italian-seasoned dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon diced prosciutto
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 cup shredded provolone
1 cup shredded mozzarella

Directions:
Directions:
1. Prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in
flour to make a roux. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes
or until roux foams. Set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine broth and lemon juice; bring to a boil. Whisk in
roux. Remove from heat and add wine. Continue to whisk until sauce is smooth and
silky. Refrigerate sauce if not using right away.
3. When ready to cook the chicken, preheat a grill or broiler. If using a grill, also
preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
4. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook just until bright green and
tender-crisp. Plunge broccoli into ice water until cool, then drain and pat dry.
5. Use a meat mallet to flatten chicken to a uniform thickness (1/2 to 3/4 inch). Coat
chicken with olive oil, then dredge both sides in bread crumbs.
6. Grill or broil chicken about 4 minutes per side, to an internal temperature of 170
degrees. (Insert thermometer horizontally for an accurate reading.) If using the
broiler, set oven at 450 degrees when you remove the chicken.
7. Pour sauce into a large skillet. Add prosciutto, red pepper flakes and garlic; bring to
a boil. Add broccoli and mushrooms; cook until sauce thickens and reduces by about a
third.
8. Mix cheeses together. Place cooked chicken on a shallow baking pan. Top each piece
with 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until cheese is melted, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to
serving plates.
9. Use a slotted spoon to evenly distribute broccoli and mushrooms over chicken. Pour
on remaining sauce to taste; serve immediately.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Note: Most skinless, boneless chicken breast halves sold in local markets are 8 to 10
ounces. If using that size, increase the amount of sauce and remaining ingredients by
about a fourth.
