Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add salt. Cook the pasta in the boiling water according to the package directions; do not overcook. Drain and rinse in cold water to cool. Toss in 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and set aside.
- Put the chicken pieces in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover in the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes.
- Remove the chicken pieces from the pot, shred the meat and set aside. Discard the bones and skin. Skim the fat from the stock, then strain the stock and set aside.
- In a new pot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and saute the bell peppers, celery, jalapenos, onion and oregano over medium heat until the vegetables are tender and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their liquid and the reserved chicken stock and shredded chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the cooked pasta and cream and stir to combine. Turn off the heat.
- Serve with lots of Parmesan on the top--the more the better--and crusty Italian bread is good too.

CHICKEN BREAST WITH PROSCIUTTO AND FONTINA CHEESE
I viewed the making of this chicken dish on Lidia's Italian Kitchen. It turned out as delicious as it looked and it's easy to make. It's a little time consuming, but well worth the wait. The fontina and proscuitto parma can be found in any supermarket or Italian specialty store. You will need an oven-safe 9 inch skillet.

Steps:
- With a mallet, gently pound each chicken breast between waxed paper.
- The breasts should be one inch thick.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place one slice of proscuitto on top of each chicken breast.
- With the back of your knife, tap the proscuitto lightly on the chicken breast.
- This will make the proscuitto adhere to the chicken.
- Preheat your 9" skillet with the oil until it becomes hot, not smokey.
- Turn heat to medium/high.
- Lay each piece of chicken, proscuitto side down, into the oiled pan.
- Turn the heat down to medium.
- Let it be.
- Moving the chicken around will cause it to become tough.
- Cook for 3- 4 minutes or until golden brown on one side.
- Gently turn the chicken pieces over and continue to cook.
- While the chicken is browning, add the tomato sauce to the pan.
- Continue to cook the chicken in the tomato sauce for another 3- 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour into the tomato sauce.
- The sauce will begin to thicken.
- Once this side is golden brown, lay one slice of fontina cheese on top of each chicken breast.
- Place the skillet into the preheated oven and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, plate and serve with pasta, rice or lentils.
- Serve with crusty Italian bread.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300°F. Combine cheeses, prosciutto, and basil in small bowl. Season stuffing with freshly ground black pepper.
- Run fingers under skin of chicken breasts to loosen. Spread stuffing under skin. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, skin side down, and cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through, turning once, about 10 minutes. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet; place in oven to keep warm. Add broth and marsala to skillet; bring to boil and cook until sauce is reduced to scant 1/2 cup, scraping up browned bits, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk in 1 tablespoon butter. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Place chicken on plates. Add any juices from baking sheet to sauce. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your soup. Use high-quality chicken broth, vegetables, and fontina cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When adding the chicken and vegetables to the pot, make sure there is enough room for them to move around and cook evenly. If the pot is too crowded, the chicken and vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the chicken and vegetables until they are tender: The chicken should be cooked through and the vegetables should be soft. This will ensure that the soup is flavorful and satisfying.
- Add the fontina cheese at the end: Fontina cheese is a soft, creamy cheese that melts easily. Adding it at the end of the cooking process will prevent it from becoming overcooked and rubbery.
- Season the soup to taste: Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
Conclusion:
Italian Chicken and Fontina Soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and the creamy fontina cheese adds a touch of richness. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
