   • In a small bowl, combine the dry white wine with 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme). Set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.
   • Place each chicken breast piece between two pieces of plastic wrap.
   • Using the flat side of a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/8 inch, forming a rectangle.
   • Remove the plastic wrap.

3. Assemble the Roll Ups:

   • Lay a slice of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast.
   • Place one-fourth of the Fontina cheese on top of the prosciutto.
   • Arrange roasted red peppers evenly over the cheese, near the bottom edge of each chicken piece.

4. Roll and Secure:

   • Starting from the bottom edge, carefully roll up each chicken breast jelly roll style, enclosing the fillings.
   • Secure each roll with toothpicks to hold them together during cooking.

5. Grill the Roll Ups:

   • Preheat your grill to medium heat.
   • Grill the chicken roll ups directly over the heat for 15 to 17 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
   • During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the roll ups with the prepared wine and thyme sauce.

6. Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the toothpicks from the roll ups.
   • Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired.
   • Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of Chicken & Prosciutto Roll Ups!
