  • 4 large fresh sage leaves
  • 3 tablespoons 45 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon 15 gr butter
  • A splash of white wine

Instructions

  • Arrange the flour in a shallow dish. Dip each chicken cutlet into the flour and coat evenly, then shake off the excess and arrange the cutlets on a chopping board. Gently layer a slice of Parma prosciutto onto eact cutlet, top with a sage leaf and secute with a cocktail stick.
  • Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken cutlets in a single layer, ham side down. Sear the chicken cutlets for 2 minutes, until the bottom is colored and crispy. Flip the chicken cutlets, and season with pepper. Continue searing for 3 more minutes, until the bottom is browned and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the pan, arrange the chicken saltimbocca on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
