Instructions
1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Prepare the chicken breasts by butterflying them, opening them flat to create a pocket for stuffing.

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and set aside.

Stuff each butterflied chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto and an eighth cup of Fontina cheese. Fold the chicken over to create a pocket, securing the edges with wooden picks.

Cover the stuffed chicken breasts with foil to keep warm.

In a large skillet, heat the clarified butter over medium heat. Add the diced sweet onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are tender and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
8
Deglaze the skillet with the dry white wine, scraping the bottom to incorporate any flavorful bits.

Add the unsalted butter, white pepper, and a dash of salt to the skillet. Stir in the sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
