This savory chicken dish features tender chicken breasts wrapped in prosciutto and sage, cooked to perfection and served with a delightful sauce.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Here’s what you’ll need to create this savory delight:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 slices of prosciutto
  • 8 fresh sage leaves
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of white wine (or chicken broth for a non-alcoholic version)
  • 1/4 cup of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Flatten the chicken breasts between plastic wrap using a meat mallet until they’re about 1/2 inch thick.
  2. Season both sides with salt and pepper, then lay two slices of prosciutto on each breast and top with a sage leaf.
  3. Coat the chicken lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add chicken (prosciutto side down), and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Pour in white wine (or broth) and simmer for 2 minutes to create a sauce.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, use chicken broth instead of white wine.
  • Serve with fresh lemon wedges for added flavor.
