For the Sauce, you will need:

Divide into 8 sections, one cheese ball per chicken thigh.
Place the cheese ball inside the chicken thigh, wrap with a piece of prosciutto.
Place a small cube of seasoned butter on top of each piece of chicken.
(If you have time, place in the refrigerator for one hour until cold!, optional)
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes....Then.....
Mix one sauce package, I used garlic pasta sauce (Knorr's brand), adding one cup of butter milk and 1 tablespoon of butter, cook according to directions on the package.
I then added the remaining mushrooms to the sauce, after I saute'd the mushrooms in small amount of butter.
After the chicken has cooked for 45 minutes, cover the wrapped chicken in the sauce. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 more minutes.
Let rest for 10 minutes, then serve. YUM, this dish was awesome, and even better the next day for lunch! We were very happy with the outcome of this recipe. Mmmm, Tummy very Happy!
