Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Scalloped Potatoes
This is a great choice for a dinner get-together with friends. The recipe sounds fancy, but in reality it only includes a few ingredients and can all be made using the same one pan! First, mix together the ricotta ingredients. Next lay the prosciutto on a flat surface with the chicken lengthwise along the bottom of each strip. Dish out the ricotta filling evenly, then roll up the prosciutto, wrapping it around the chicken. (You can use toothpicks to seal the ends of each.) Now for the potatoes; slice them and place each around an ovenproof skillet, overlapping. Spread a mixture of olive oil and garlic over the potatoes, then sprinkle with seasonings. Place the chicken over the layer of potatoes and place in the oven for 40 minutes. The more you make this dish, the more you can experiment with the flavors.
