Chicken Modiga is a decadent Italian-American dish that combines pan-seared chicken breasts with a luscious sauce made from butter, white wine, lemon juice, mushrooms, prosciutto, and provel cheese. The result is a comforting, restaurant-quality meal that's surprisingly easy to prepare at home.
In a small bowl, combine ½ cup butter with 3 tbsp flour to form a creamy paste. Set aside.
Brush chicken breasts with melted butter and coat evenly with breadcrumbs.
In a grill pan over medium heat, cook chicken breasts for 5 minutes on each side until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C). Remove and set aside.
: In an oven-proof skillet, bring chicken stock to a boil. Whisk in the butter-flour mixture and continue to boil until the sauce thickens.
Stir in white wine, lemon juice, mushrooms, and prosciutto. Simmer for 5–10 minutes.
Return chicken breasts to the skillet. Top each with shredded provel cheese.
Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 4 minutes until cheese is melted.
Plate the chicken and spoon the sauce over the top.
