Sandy's Chicken Saltimbocca

Ingredients

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

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Lay out the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Place two slices of prosciutto and four sage leaves on each chicken breast.
3. Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper.
4. Place the flour in a shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast into the flour to coat both sides, shaking off any excess flour.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
6. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
7. Serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
