3 T. salted butter
1 T. olive oil, divided
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. cooking sherry

Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Wrap each breast with 1prosciutto slice, pushing down the edges to adhere.
Heat butter and 1/2 T. oil in a 10 inch skillet over medium-high heat, swirling around in to coat the base of the skillet. Add chicken; cook 3-4 minutes per side, depending on thickness. Chicken should be browned on each side and almost cooked through. Remove; set aside.
Add remaining olive oil to skillet; saute garlic 2-3 minutes or until fragrant and translucent, scraping up the brown bits in the skillet to the center while cooking.
Add cooking sherry; bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer; whisk in sour cream. 1 c. at a time, until the cream sauce forms. Place the rosemary in the skillet; let simmer 10 minutes. Put chicken in the skillet. Cook, uncovered, 5-10 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked and heated through.
Serve with rice, your favorite pasta, or mashed potatoes, spooning the sauce over the chicken and the choice of side.
