Chicken Saltimbocca

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 tsp. salt, divided
  • 6 (4 oz.) chicken cutlets
  • 18 fresh sage leaves
  • 6 thin slices of prosciutto, each cut in half lengthwise (12 strips)
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2/3 c. chicken stock
  • 1/4 c. dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
  • 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
  • Chopped parsley and lemon wedges, for garnish 

Directions

  1. 1Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over both sides of the cutlets. Top each cutlet with 3 sage leaves. Wrap 2 strips of prosciutto around each cutlet, securing the sage leaves in place. 
  2. 2Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 wrapped cutlets to the skillet and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until cutlets are cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken to a platter; cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining wrapped cutlets. Remove skillet from heat.
  3. 3Whisk together the stock, wine, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.
  4. 4Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic; cook 30 seconds, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the broth mixture and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened, stirring constantly.
  5. 5Spoon the sauce over the cutlets. Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, if desired.
