Chef's pro tip
Be cautious of the prosciutto unraveling while cooking. To avoid that, handle the meat gently. Alternatively, use kitchen twine to tie everything together. Or you can also chill the wrapped chicken for 15-30 minutes before cooking. This will help the ham slice to stick better to the cutlet. By implementing precautionary steps, you can ensure a seamless cooking process without any hiccups or issues.

Cant believe this recipe doesn't have any reviews! This is, by far, my favorite recipe that I found during the 6 months I did keto. And now that I've hit my goal weight and transitioned into Paleo, I still make it all the time. It is so easy and a showstopper that i use to entertain. The recipe has spread like wildfire among my friends and family. Thanks for the post! Delish!!!
