Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken cutlets
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 pieces Fresh sage leaves
- 4 slices Prosciutto
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper, and pound to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet.
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Place two sage leaves on top of each piece of chicken, then wrap each cutlet with a slice of prosciutto. Press lightly to make sure the prosciutto adheres to the chicken.
Step 4
Dredge the chicken lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the chicken cutlets to the skillet, prosciutto-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 7
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 8
Pour in the white wine, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.
Step 9
Add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 10
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece to coat. Let it warm through for about 2 minutes.
Step 11
Transfer the chicken to serving plates and spoon the remaining sauce over each cutlet. Serve immediately.
