Steps
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Trim any fat off the chicken breast if desired. Season it with salt and pepper. Wrap the chicken with slices of prosciutto and give it a quick drizzle of olive oil.
- In a cast iron or oven safe skillet, melt the butter with the garlic and ½ teaspoon oregano, over medium high heat. Once the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant remove from heat. Add the 1 tablespoon dijon, lemon juice, lemon slices, and wine. Stir to combine.
- Place the prosciutto wrapped chicken breast on top of the sauce. Bake in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Notes
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F for food safety.
