Proscuitto Wrapped Chicken with Pasta

With the pandemic going on, we're doing more meal kits. It's kind of like having to color with 4 crayons instead of your normal 64 but grateful to have food options at all. This one was from Hello Fresh. It was pretty quick to make and I plan to add this to my future arsenal.

Ingredients:
2 chicken breasts
4 slices proscuitto
1/2 cup mozarella
6 oz spaghetti
14 oz marinara sauce
1 tsp. italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. red chili flake
1 tbsp. butter
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 sprigs basil, leaves picked and thinly sliced

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

2. Wash and pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with pepper. (avoid salt at this stage because the prosciutto is very salty). Lay two slices of prosciutto besides one another on a flat surface. Tightly roll prosciutto around chicken. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and chicken.

3. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large, preferably ovenproof, pan over medium-high heat. Add wrapped chicken (prosciutto seam down) and sear until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (it'll finish cooking in the next step).

4. Top seared chicken with mozzarella. Transfer oven safe pan to preheated oven on the top rack. Cook until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 155, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven and set chicken aside to rest.

5. While chicken is roasting, cook the noodles. Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.

5. Heat pan used for chicken over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil, italian seasoning and red chili flakes and cook until toasted, about 1 minute. Stir in marinara sauce and 1/4 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until lightly thickened, 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Stir spaghetti, half the basil, half the parmesan, and 1 tbsp. butter into sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper. Divide between two plates and top with chicken. Garnish with remaining basil and parmesan.
