Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 4 leaves fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Place a chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until it is about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat for all pieces.
Step 2
Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Wrap each chicken breast with 2 slices of prosciutto, overlapping slightly to cover the surface.
Step 4
Lightly dredge the wrapped chicken breasts in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 6
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the dry white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Step 8
Add chicken broth and fresh sage leaves to the skillet. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 9
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the lemon juice to create a smooth, glossy sauce.
Step 10
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm everything through.
Step 11
Serve the chicken warm, drizzled with the pan sauce. Optionally, garnish with additional fresh sage leaves.
