Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 slices prosciutto
• 8 fresh sage leaves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 1 large, juiced lemon
• 0.5 teaspoon, freshly ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of approximately 1/4 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin between two sheets of plastic wrap.

Step 2

Lightly season both sides of each chicken breast with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Place one sage leaf on each side of the chicken breasts, then wrap each breast with two slices of prosciutto, ensuring the sage is secured under the prosciutto slices.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and the mixture to heat up.

Step 5

Add the prosciutto-wrapped chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the prosciutto is crisp and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, carefully pour in the chicken broth and dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the sauce to simmer and reduce by half, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the fresh lemon juice and continue to cook for another minute. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top, and cook for an additional minute to warm through.

Step 9

Serve the Keto Saltimbocca hot, drizzled with the pan sauce.
