Wrap each piece of chicken with a piece of prosciutto. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium. When it is hot, add the wrapped chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or so, until browned and it reaches 165 degrees. Meanwhile, add about 3 inches of water to a small pot, cover, and put it on to boil. Wash the asparagus and snap off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 2 inch pieces. Add to a steamer basket, and when the water in the pot is at a rolling boil, put the basket on top and cover. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Immediately rinse with cold water to stop the cooking and set it aside. (If you don&#8217;t have a steamer, you can roast the asparagus, or saut\u00c3\u00a9 it with some oil). In a small bowl whisk together the pesto and cream. When the chicken is fully cooked, pour the mixture over the chicken, and add the asparagus. Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn off the heat. Serve with potatoes or crusty bread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 pound chicken breast, sliced thin (2-3 breasts) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons flour, or more 4 slices prosciutto 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 bunch asparagus 1\/4 cup basil pesto 1\/3 cup cream If the chicken breasts are thick, slit them in half lengthwise to make them thinner.
