Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4  skinless  boneless chicken breast halves
  • 8  large  fresh sage leaves, finely chopped*
  • 8  thin  prosciutto slices (about 3 ounces)
  • 1/2  cup  plus 2 teaspoons all purpose flour
  • 2  tablespoons  butter
  • 3  tablespoons  olive oil
  • 4  tablespoons  dry white wine
  • 1  cup  low-salt chicken broth
  • 4  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap on work surface. Using mallet (or the flat end of a rolling pin), pound chicken to 1/3-inch thickness. Sprinkle chicken generously with salt and pepper. Divide sage evenly atop each chicken breast half. Top each chicken breast with 2 prosciutto slices, pressing firmly to adhere prosciutto to the chicken. On a shallow plate, put ½ cup of flour. Dredge chicken through the flour, on both sides, and shake gently to remove any excess.
  • Melt butter with oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, prosciutto side down and cook for 4 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook just until cooked through, about 3 more minutes. Transfer chicken platter and cover to keep warm. Do not rinse out the skillet. You want all the good bits from the cooked chicken to make the sauce.
  • In a small bowl, whisk wine together with the remaining flour. Add broth and lemon juice to same skillet; bring to boil. Add wine mixture; whisk until sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve immediately.
  • *Sage is a controversial herb – you either love it or hate it. If you are in the latter camp, you can replace with thyme, parsley, or rosemary.
