Chicken Saltimbocca is a flavorful Italian dish made with thinly pounded chicken breasts, layered with prosciutto and fresh sage, then sautéed until golden and finished with a white wine butter sauce.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 8 fresh sage leaves
  • 4 slices of prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  3. Place 2 sage leaves on each chicken breast and top with a slice of prosciutto, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. Lightly dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add chicken, prosciutto-side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until cooked through and golden brown.
  7. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  8. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up browned bits.
  9. Reduce heat and whisk in butter until sauce is smooth.
  10. Return chicken to the pan to heat through, spooning sauce over top before serving.

Notes

  • Use thin-sliced chicken or pound to ensure even cooking.
  • Dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc works best for the sauce.
  • Don’t overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.
