Ingredients
- 3 whole boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp sage
- salt and pepper to taste
- 8 oz prosciutto
Instructions
- Put the boneless chicken breasts on a cutting board and sprinkle with sage, salt and pepper. Keep in mind the prosciutto is salty, so go easy on the salt. I think 1/4 t. per chicken breast is plenty.
- Wrap each breast with 2-3 slices of prosciutto, so that the prosciutto covers most of the chicken.
- Cook in the air fryer at 400F for 15 minutes, turning once.
- Check the temperature of the chicken with an instant read thermometer. If it is 160 F or above take the chicken out. Otherwise return it to the air fryer for another 2-6 minutes, depending on how close it is to done.
- Let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.

Notes
- You could place a whole fresh sage leaf on the chicken instead of dried sage to make it more like Chicken Saltimbocca.
- If you use smaller and thinner chicken breast cutlets reduce the cooking time to 10 minutes before checking the internal temperature.
