4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 lb prosciutto, sliced paper thin (8 slices)
1/4 lb fresh spinach
2 small tomatoes, very thinly sliced
8 large basil leaves
4 medium slices provolone cheese

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Pound each chicken breast half to an even thickness of about 1/2-inch. Combine the flour, salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a shallow dish. Lightly dredge the chicken and set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until light golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in a baking dish coated with nonstick spray.

Top each piece of chicken with a slice of prosciutto, a layer of spinach leaves, 2 slices of tomato and a pinch of salt and pepper. Repeat the layers in order, then add a layer of 2 basil leaves to each and top with a slice of provolone.
Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and begins to brown.

How many calories per serving?

I have no idea, but boneless, skinless chicken breast, prosciutto and spinach, couldn't be more than 350 calories per serving? This is a rough guesstimate.

Looks like a great dish. Prosciutto is slowly making its way into the main stream. I am definitely adding this to my to-make list -- thanks for sharing, gourmetconnect!

I hope this is not a silly question, but what is "prosciutto"?

It looks like a tomato sauce on top of the cheese. Is this the case and if so is it a salsa or just diced tomatoes?
making it as I write?
