Delicious Saltimbocca alla Pollo Recipe

Saltimbocca alla Pollo is a classic Italian dish made with chicken, prosciutto, sage, and a white wine sauce. This recipe adds a twist to the traditional saltimbocca by using chicken instead of veal, making it a lighter and quicker option for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 slices of prosciutto
• 8 fresh sage leaves
• 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/4 cup chicken broth

Directions

1. Place the chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place 2 sage leaves on each chicken breast, then wrap each with 2 slices of prosciutto.
3. Dredge the chicken bundles in flour, shaking off any excess.
4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken bundles and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom.
6. Add the chicken broth to the pan and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half.
7. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until heated through.
8. Serve the Saltimbocca alla Pollo with the white wine sauce drizzled on top.
