Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken with Asparagus

This is an easy dinner to make when you're tired and want something that doesn't take that long to make. It's actually quite healthy, except for the cream. My boyfriend and I made this together and we both loved it!! I kind of messed up and poured the sauce all over the chicken, but it was still amazing.

I promise to get better with my food presentation. lol 

Ingredients:

• 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

Instructions:

1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.

2. Rub the chicken with flour. Wrap each piece of chicken with a piece of prosciutto.

3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium. When it is hot, add the wrapped chicken. Cook for 5-6 minutes more, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes or so, until browned and it reaches 165 degrees. 

4. Next, add about 3 inches of water to a small pot, cover and let it boil. Wash off the asparagus and cut off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 2 inch pieces. Cook for 5 minutes, or until tender. 

5. In a small bowl whisk together 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 by itself or with a side.
