Stuffed Chicken Breast

Perfect for Mother's Day! Tuscany all over again… every bite of this chicken transports me back there on a mid-summer day with a fresh loaf of bread and a fabulous selection of wine. The crispiness of the prosciutto carries over into the Ontario Greenhouse peppers and melted fontina cheese. Every bite is a new sensation. This dish is easily accompanied by a multitude of wines and vegetables
