The temperature should be high.
Dredge chicken breast, pounded and thinned, in flour.
Place chicken in saucepan.
Cook one minute and flip.
Add mushrooms.
Add chicken stock, wine and garlic.
It should begin to boil — add butter.
Add tomato slices over chicken.
Then layer prosciutto and then cheese.
Finish in oven at 500 degrees, just long enough to melt the cheese and perhaps crisp the exposed prosciutto.
