Chicken Elizabeth

Chicken Elizabeth (serves 4)

8oz soft Cream cheese
1/2 c soft butter
1 t pepper
1 t fresh basil
1 t fresh thyme
1 t fresh oregano
1 t fresh tarragon
1 t fresh parsley
1 t minced garlic
Mix all of the above items to make a borsin cheese.  If you are using dry spices, use about 1/2 t of each.
4 chicken breasts
12 cherry size tomatoes - halved
4  oz prosciutto ham (deli sliced)
white cooking wine
Pound breasts out to uniform thickness.  Place one slice of ham on chicken breast, then 1/4 C borsin cheese mixture, 6 tomato halves in the middle and roll up chicken breast.  It gets kind of messy.  Place seam side down in baking dish sprayed with Pam. Place a dollop of borsin cheese on top of each breast and sprinkle the entire dish with white wine (generously).  Bake @ 375 for 30 min uncovered.

**I sometimes slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally before pounding them out, just to reduce the serving size.  I have also used store bought "borsin" cheese, but added 1/4 C butter, 3 oz cream cheese and some dry spices.
