Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 pieces Prosciutto slices
- 8 pieces Fresh sage leaves
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup White wine
- 0.5 cup Chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast lightly in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter has melted and is foaming.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium-low. In the same skillet, lay 1 slice of prosciutto and 2 sage leaves on top of each chicken breast.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top of each piece of chicken.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and cover the pan, allowing the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the white wine, chicken stock, lemon juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce slightly, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, pour it over the chicken in the skillet.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
