Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise to get 4 thin slices.
- Place each slice between parchment paper and bash them out with a meat mallet or heavy rolling pin.
- Place a slice of ham on each chicken breast and top with a sage leave.
- Stitch both into the chicken with a toothpick.
- Place the flour on a flat plate, dredge the underside of the chicken in the flour, and shake off the excess.
- Heat up the butter and the olive oil over high heat until the butter is melted.
- Add the chicken breast ham/sage side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until the ham is browned.
- Flip them over with a spatula and add pepper to taste. Don´t salt them yet, because the ham is already very salty.
- Cook for 2 minutes and add the white wine.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and cook with the wine for another 3-4 minutes and transfer the meat to a plate.
- Add the butter to the wine in the pan and quickly whisk it in.
- Let the sauce reduce for another 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the meat to the pan and serve. Or leave meat on the plate and drizzle with the sauce.
Notes
- Storage: Store chicken saltimbocca in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Add chopped sage leaves to the sauce to increase the sage flavor. Or add a bit of lemon zest for a fresh kick.
- In some Italian regions, they add cheese to the meat. If you want to try that, put sage first, then cheese, and finish with the ham.
