Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 4 slices Prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Lightly coat both sides of each chicken breast with flour, shaking off any excess.
Lay 2 sage leaves on top of each chicken breast and press gently. Wrap each breast with 2 slices of prosciutto to secure the sage.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the chicken breasts in the skillet, prosciutto-side down.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until the prosciutto is crispy and the chicken is golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Deglaze the skillet by adding the white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the butter, letting it melt into the sauce to create a smooth consistency.
Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
Transfer the chicken to serving plates, spoon the sauce over the top, and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
