We love a good, simple chicken breast. But to really elevate it, you’ve got to be creative with how you prepare it. In this recipe, our chefs took up that challenge, drawing inspiration from Italian saltimbocca. The meat is wrapped in slices of prosciutto, seared until it’s delightfully crisp, and placed atop a mushroom risotto with a drizzle of umami-rich truffle oil.
Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Garlic
1 unit
Shallot
4 ounce
Mushrooms
¾ cup
Arborio Rice
12 ounce
Chicken Breasts
2 ounce
Prosciutto
1 unit
Lemon

2 tablespoon
Truffle Oil
1 tablespoon
Olive Oil

Wash and dry all produce. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bring 4 cups water and stock concentrates to boil in a medium pot. Once boiling, reduce heat to low. Meanwhile, slice garlic as thinly as possible. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Trim, then cut mushrooms into ¼-inch-thick slices.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic. Cook, tossing, until softened, 1-2 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring, until translucent, 1-2 minutes. Add stock ½ cup at a time, stirring after each addition. Allow rice to absorb most of the stock before adding more. Continue until al dente and creamy, 30-35 minutes.
Pat chicken dry with a paper towel. Lay 2 slices of prosciutto beside each other on a flat surface. Tightly roll prosciutto around chicken. Repeat with another 2 slices of prosciutto and other chicken breast (you may have some prosciutto left over; use the rest as you like).
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in another large pan over medium-high heat (use an ovenproof pan if you have one). Add wrapped chicken to pan and sear until golden brown, 2 minutes per side. Transfer pan to oven and roast until no longer pink in center, about 15 minutes. Let rest a few minutes, then slice crosswise. TIP: If your pan isn’t ovenproof, transfer chicken to a small baking dish before putting in oven.
While chicken roasts, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until tender, 4-7 minutes. Cut lemon into wedges. Mince chives. Once mushrooms are done, stir into risotto along with herb butter, half the Parmesan, half the chives, a squeeze of lemon, and any juices from chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and more lemon (to taste).
Divide risotto between plates and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and chives. Top with chicken. Drizzle with truffle oil (to taste). Serve with any remaining lemon on the side.
