Ingredients
- 4 chicken fillets
- 4 slices prosciutto
- ⅓ cup dry white wine (80 ml)
- 4 fresh sage leaves
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
-
Make the chicken fillets a little thinner if you find them too thick. Just cover the fillets with a piece of cling film and then pound them lightly with a meat mallet until they are thin. Place a sage leaf on top of each fillet and season with a little sprinkle of pepper and salt.
-
Wrap the chicken in a slice of prosciutto. Then secure the saltimbocca parcel with a toothpick.
-
Pour the olive oil in a heavy skillet and place it over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the wrapped chicken parcels.
-
Fry them on both sides for a couple of minutes until browned.
-
Then pour in the white wine.
-
Cover the pan, turn the heat lower and leave the saltimbocca chicken to simmer in the wine for about 4 minutes. Check the seasoning. Add pepper or salt to taste. Transfer the saltimbocca chicken onto plates. Serve with mashed potatoes or cooked pasta.
