For the Chicken

  • 8 slices Prosciutto Thinly sliced, high-quality
  • 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves Fry some extra for added crunch
For the Coating & Sauce
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose flour Substitute with gluten-free flour if needed
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter Divided; use cold butter for the sauce
  • 1 cup Dry white wine Use a neutral wine like Pinot Grigio
  • 1 cup Chicken stock For moisture and flavor
  • To taste Freshly cracked black pepper Use sparingly

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Meat mallet
  • Whisk
  • wooden spoon

Method
 

Step-by-step Instructions
  1. Slice the boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 8-12 pieces and pound each piece to about ¼ inch thick.
  2. On each chicken piece, lay down a fresh sage leaf followed by a slice of prosciutto. Press gently with plastic wrap.
  3. Lightly dredge each chicken piece in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add chicken, cooking for 2 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional minute.
  5. Pour off excess fat then add a splash of dry white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits for about 30 seconds.
  6. Stir in a cup of chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half (about 3-4 minutes).
  7. Whisk in the remaining cold butter until the sauce becomes glossy and emulsified (about 1-2 minutes).
  8. Plate the Chicken Saltimbocca, drizzling the wine butter sauce over each piece and garnish with fried sage leaves if desired.
