Ingredients

  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
  • 8 sage leaves
  • 4 prosciutto slices
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine
  • 1 cup low-salt chicken broth
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • The original recipe calls for pounding the chicken breasts, which is fine. They're more tender that way, sure. But that makes a gross mess in the kitchen and this works just fine without that step.
  • Pre-heat over to 200 degrees and place a heatproof platter inside.
  • Rinse chicken and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper. Press sage leaves into the chicken breast. Drape with a slice of prosciutto and press them tightly together. Pat chicken into flour and cover lightly but completely on both sides.
  • Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, prosciutto side down, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook another 4 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer chicken to oven and allow to rest until interior temp reaches 140 or whatever temp makes you feel all safe and stuff.
  • Whisk wine with remaining 1 tablespoon flour in small bowl. Pour broth and lemon juice into skillet and bring to boil. Add wine mixture a bit at a time, whisking until sauce thickens slightly. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve with rice, topped with sauce
