Chicken Saltimbocca
A chicken lovers version of the classic Italian dish. A quick and easy restaurant worthy meal. Inspired by Giada's Kitchen: New Italian Favorites.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more for seasoning meat
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more for seasoning meat
- 4 thin lemon slices
- 5 large fresh sage leaves divided
- 4 slices prosciutto large enough to wrap around chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes drained
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Place one chicken breast on a work surface inside a plastic zip-top bag or between two pieces of plastic. Pound with meat mallet or rolling pin to ½-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. Season each chicken breast on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place one slice of lemon and one fresh sage leaf on one chicken breast and wrap crosswise with a slice of prosciutto, pressing to seal. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
- Finely chop remaining sage leaf.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts, lemon side up in the hot oil; cook 5 minutes. (Reduce heat if prosciutto is browning too quickly) Carefully turn chicken breasts over with tongs or a thin metal spatula and cook 3-5 minutes more, until chicken has just cooked through and prosciutto has caramelized. Remove from skillet and tent with foil; let stand 5 minutes or until an instant read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165˚F.
- Meanwhile, add white wine to skillet; cook and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping up any brown bits. Add chicken broth and boil until reduced by half, 4 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, cream, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Arrange chicken breasts on serving platter or place one on each of 4 dinner plates; spoon sauce over each and garnish with finely chopped sage; serve immediately.
