Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
8 thin slices of prosciutto
8 fresh sage leaves
1 cup of dry white wine (or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic option)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
½ cup of all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
Instructions
Prepare your Chicken: Start by placing chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them gently until they’re about ½ inch thick. This ensures even cooking and tender meat. Season with salt and pepper.
Add Prosciutto and Sage: Lay two slices of prosciutto over each chicken breast and place two sage leaves on top.
Dredge in Flour: Lightly coat each chicken breast with all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet, prosciutto side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Flip and Finish Cooking: Flip the chicken, add a tablespoon of butter to the pan, and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Create the Sauce: Remove chicken from skillet and pour white wine into the skillet, scraping up any brown bits. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until reduced by half.
Serve and Enjoy!: Return chicken to the skillet, coat with sauce, serve hot.
