tuscan chicken rolls

serve w/a little spaghettini tossed w/olive oil, garlic and fresh plum tomatoes; an arugula salad; and a finale of respberry gelato
Ingredients:
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and freshly ground pepper
2 thin slices prosciutto, cut in half crosswise
8 lg basil leaves
1 rosted red pepper (from a jar, from the deli, or fresh), cut into 4 pieces
2 oz mozzarella cheese
3 tbs extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 c marsala wine
1/3 c chicken broth
Directions:
1. Place the chicken breast halves, one at a time, between pieces of heavy plastic wrap.  w/a heavy skillet, meat mallet, or rolling pin, pound the chicken to an even thickness of less than 1/2".  Season the chicken w/salt and pepper.
2. Place a quarter of the prosciutto, basil, red pepper, and cheese in the center of each piece of chicken, then roll into a cylinder, tucking in the ends.  Secure each chicken roll w/a toothpick, though the chicken will tend to stay closed on its own.
3. In a lg. skillet w/a lid, heat the oil.  Cook the chicken over med heat, turning carefully w/tongs so all sides are golden and the chicken is nearly cooked through, about 12 min total.  Transfer the chicken to a plate.
4. Add the Marsala and broth to the skillet, stirring up browned bits clinging to the bottom.  Bring to a boil, then return the chicken and accumulated juices to the skillet.  Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 min longer.  Uncover, raise the heat to high and reduce the sauce slightly about 1 min.  Season the sauce w/salt and pepper.
