   • Place each chicken breast between pieces of heavy plastic wrap. Pound to an even thickness of 1/2 inch.
   • Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

2. Assemble Rolls:

   • Lay out the chicken breasts. On each piece, place 1 slice of prosciutto, 2 basil leaves, some red pepper (if desired), and slices of mozzarella.
   • Roll up each chicken breast, tucking in the ends, and secure with toothpicks to hold the rolls together.

3. Cook Chicken:

   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
   • Carefully add the chicken rolls to the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and chicken is nearly cooked through, about 12 minutes.

4. Simmer in Sauce:

   • Remove chicken rolls from skillet and set aside on a plate.
   • Pour Marsala wine and chicken broth into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
   • Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce heat to low.

5. Finish Cooking:

   • Return the chicken rolls and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
   • Uncover and increase heat to high to reduce the sauce slightly, about 1 minute.

6. Serve:

   • Remove toothpicks from chicken rolls before serving.
   • Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve hot.
