Are you a fan of Italian cuisine and looking to try something new and exciting? Look no further than La Valdostana, a mouthwatering dish originating from the Val d’Aosta region in Italy. This recipe combines layers of ham, fontina cheese, and tender chicken, all baked to perfection. Follow this step-by-step guide to create your own La Valdostana masterpiece.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices of cooked ham
  • 8 slices of fontina cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally, but not all the way through. Open the halves like a book, ensuring the thickness is consistent.

3. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

4. Place a slice of ham and a slice of fontina cheese on one half of each chicken breast. Fold the other half over to create a sandwich-like shape with the fillings inside.

5. In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

6. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the beaten eggs, and coat it with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.

7. Place the coated chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Drizzle the melted butter over the top.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating turns golden brown.

9. Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.

10. Serve hot and savor the melty cheese, savory ham, and perfectly cooked chicken.

La Valdostana pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad. Buon appetito!
