Chicken Saltimbocca

  • 4

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c all-purpose flour
  • 12 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 lb total), pounded to 1/3 inch thickness
  • salt and pepper
  • 8 thin slices prosciutto
  • 1-1/2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1-1/2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 lemon, cut into wedges

Preparation

Step 1

Place flour in a shallow bowl and stir in sage. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Coat each breast with seasoned flour, shaking excess back into bowl. Drape a slice of prosciutto over each side of each breast, overlapping slightly.

Warm half of butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully add half of chicken, taking care to keep prosciutto in place.

Cook until browned on both sides, turning once, 4-6 minutes minutes total.

Transfer chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter, oil and chicken.

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

* Tips:

You can substitute ham for the proscuitto, if you want.

You can also substitute 2 Tbsp dried sage for the fresh sage.
