3 plum tomatoes, seeded, diced
½ cup thinly sliced fresh basil
4 ounces prosciutto, chopped
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Heat ¼ cup oil in heavy small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until light golden brown, about 6 minutes. Strain oil into glass measuring cup; reserve garlic. Add enough oil to measuring cup to measure 1/4 cup. Set aside.

Meanwhile, heat reserved oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sauté 5 minutes. Add poblano’s and sauté 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, ¼ cup basil, prosciutto and 2 tablespoons cooked garlic and sauté until chicken is cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add butter and stir just until melted.
