i used to work in a italian restaurant and they had a dish called 'chicken anthony' but i'd like to know what it's really called. it's like chicken franchaise, but it's got meat (ham or proscuitto) and tomato and provolone cheese on top of the chicken.

Sounds like just a play on any number of dishs. Saltimboca comes to mind for one with the chicken, ham, cheese. etc. People take all kinds of licenses when it comes to this. I made a dish at one rest. I worked and called it Chicken Andria after my niece. It was simply a rolled breast stuffed with spinach and havarti in an artichoke cream sauce. I'm sure elsewhere it might be called something different and made slightly different. So I wouldn't put a lot of stock in finding a proper name for it (But hey what do I know?:rolleyes: )

Sounds like "cordon bleu" to me, but with tomato to make it "Italian."

Chicken Anthony

I have seen over a dozen different Italian dishes called "Chicken Anthony", so I think it's whatever the chef wants to give the name to. I took a quick look in my cookbook library, but found no exact match to your dish with a consistent name.
