Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Season your chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off the excess to ensure a light coating.
  2. Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and a tablespoon of unsalted butter until melted.
  3. Pan-fry the chicken in a single layer for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  4. Optional: Pour in the white wine, allowing it to cook down until nearly evaporated, roughly 2-3 minutes.
  5. Pour in the chicken stock, stirring to combine, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Top each chicken cutlet with a slice of ham and a handful of Fontina cheese. Cover the pan and cook on medium-low until the cheese is bubbly, about 2 minutes.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure chicken cutlets are thin for even cooking. You can adjust the sauce consistency by adding chicken stock if it thickens too much.
