1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 t Worcestershire sauce
1/2 t salt
1/2 t freshly ground black pepper
12 thin slices prosciutto
20 whole fresh basil leaves
1 cup avocado and lime dip (recipe follows)

Steps:

Cut the chicken into 1/2-in-thick strips that are 3 linches long and 1/2 inch wide. Combine the oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Prepare the grill or preheat the broiler Place a slice of the prosciutto on a cutting board. Cut in half crosswise to make two pieces approximately 5 inches long. Place a whole basil leaf on the top piece of the prosciutto and put a strip of chicken on the basil. Roll the prosciutto and basil around the chicken to form a 3-inch cylinder. Repeat the process until all the chicken strips are rolled. Grill or broil the bundles just until the chicken is firm and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
