- 2 6 oz each boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 prosciutto slices
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup dry white wine (e.g., Pinot Grigio)
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
How to make Pollo Saltimbocca (Chicken with Prosciutto and Sage)
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner cutlets, for a total of 4 cutlets. Place each cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Season both sides of the chicken cutlets lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place 1-2 sage leaves on one side of each chicken cutlet. Lay one slice of prosciutto over the sage leaves, pressing gently to adhere.
- Lightly dredge the non-prosciutto side of each cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess. This helps with browning and sauce thickening.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and sizzling.
- Place the chicken cutlets, prosciutto-side down, in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the prosciutto is crispy and golden. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
- Remove chicken from the skillet and transfer to a plate, keeping warm.
- Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Continue to simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has slightly reduced and thickened.
- Pour the pan sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.
