  • 12 sage leaves chopped coarsely
  • 12 slices prosciutto
  • ½ cup flour

  • 2 Tbsps butter
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil

Lemon Sauce

  • 3 Tbsps dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ¾ cup chicken broth

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Place chicken breasts between double sheets or plastic wrap. Pound until uniformly about ⅓ " thick. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide chopped sage evenly over breasts.
  • Top each breast with 2 slices of prosciutto. Wrap any excess under the bottom of the breast.
  • Dredge both sides of each breast in flour. Shake off any excess flour. Transfer to a platter until ready to cook.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Heat oil and butter in a large frying pan. When hot add chicken breasts prosciutto side down. Cook about 4 minutes, flip and cook another 3 minutes on the other side.

  • Shake wine and 1 Tbsps flour in a jar until evenly mixed. When breasts are cooked add the chicken broth and lemon juice to the same skillet and bring to a boil. Add the wine/flour mix and stir until thickened. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve breasts with a bit of lemon sauce drizzled over them.
