Preparation
- Begin by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure a nice golden-brown sear. Season both sides generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Then, place the chicken in a shallow dish and coat it evenly with seasoned flour.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the prosciutto and cook for about 3-4 minutes until it's crisp and golden. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the prosciutto to a paper towel-lined plate.
- In the same skillet, add a couple of tablespoons of butter to the drippings and let it melt. Increase the heat to medium-high, then lay the chicken breasts in the skillet. Sear them for 5-6 minutes until the underside is golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced cremini mushrooms to the same skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until they start to caramelize. Add the shallots, fresh thyme, and sage, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne. Continue to cook for 2-3 minutes until the shallots become translucent.
- Pour in the dry white wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any delicious browned bits stuck to the bottom of the skillet. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken bone broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, then return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce over them. Cook for about 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
- Once the chicken is done, sprinkle the grated Gruyère cheese generously over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Sprinkle the crispy prosciutto over the chicken, along with some fresh herbs for garnish. Serve alongside your favorite sides.

Notes
Adjust cooking times if using chicken thighs. Avoid microwave reheating to preserve texture. Use a quality dry white wine for the best flavor.
