Italian Chicken rolls with a hint of duck

This is the Italian chicken rolls I’ve made many times before, but with a twist. Instead of prosciutto I substituted my homemade duck prosciutto. The results were very good. The rolls were finished with a Marsala and cremini mushroom sauce. The dish was also served with sautéed asparagus and mashed potatoes.
