    On one half of each flattened chicken breast, layer the goat cheese, sliced onion, and prosciutto.

  4. 04

    Fold the other half of the chicken over the filling to enclose it.

  6. 06

    Add butter, fresh thyme sprigs, and garlic cloves to the pan. Baste the chicken with the melted butter.

    Continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through and the filling is hot.

    Transfer the chicken to a plate, spoon over the pan sauce, and serve with cooked quail eggs if desired.
