Equipment

  • toothpicks

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 4 slices prosciutto crudo
  • 4 leaves sage plus extra for garnish if desired
  • 0.5 cup Italian white wine such as Pinot Grigio, Vermentino or Pecorino
  • All purpose flour for dredging
  • Olive oil
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half and pound them lightly using a rolling pin or meat mallet until they’re roughly ½cm (¼ inch) thick.
  • Place one sage leaf in the centre of each cutlet then place a slice of prosciutto on top. Secure the sage and prosciutto in place using a toothpick.
  • Lightly season the plain side of each cutlet with a little salt then dredge each cutlet in a little flour, shaking off any excess just so it’s lightly coated.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan on a medium heat, once hot place the chicken in prosciutto side down and cook until crispy (about 4-5 minutes) then turn round and cook for a further 4 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken and place on a plate. Add the wine to the pan and scrape any brown bits, simmer for around 2-3 minutes until the wine has reduced by half then add the chicken back to the pan to warm up.
  • Turn off the heat and serve.

Notes

Chicken cutlets can be used for less prep. Best consumed immediately, can store in the fridge for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
