Steps:

• Melt butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Finely chop the sage, rosemary and marjoram and put into a small bowl. Add the melted butter, salt and pepper to the chopped ingredients and mix well. Lay a large sheet of aluminum foil on the table and brush the shiny side with olive oil. Using a pastry brush, coat each piece of chicken with the herb-butter mixture. Wrap each piece in a slice of Prosciutto di Parma and place the chicken pieces on the foil close together and wrap completely with foil. Place the package in a terra cotta or ceramic casserole and cover. Place the casserole in a cold oven and turn the oven to 450 degrees. Bake for one hour and 45 minutes without removing the cover. Remove from oven and let stand for five minutes. Use scissors to cut from the center of the foil outward in four directions, making a cross. Cut each quarter in half and fold back each of the foil pieces from the center, forming petals over each side of the casserole. Serve immediately.
