Description
A quick Italian dish featuring thin chicken cutlets topped with prosciutto and sage, pan-fried in a white wine sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thin chicken cutlets (about 4 oz each)
- 8 thin slices prosciutto
- 8 fresh sage leaves
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place each chicken cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- Season the chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
- Place two slices of prosciutto and two sage leaves on top of each cutlet. Secure them with toothpicks if necessary.
- Dredge the chicken lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken cutlets, prosciutto side down, in the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the prosciutto is lightly browned.
- Flip the cutlets and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
- Pour the white wine into the skillet. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the wine reduce by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet briefly to coat with the sauce. Remove toothpicks before serving.
- Serve immediately with the pan sauce spooned over the top.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh sage with 1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage if fresh is unavailable.
- Use a good quality dry white wine for the best sauce flavor.
