This recipe caught my eye when it popped up in my Reader. Immediately taking inventory in my head, I was psyched when I realized I had everything on hand to make this dish. Score! Prosciutto is a favorite of Lloyd’s. I had a few rogue slices to use from when I made Fig-Prosciutto Pizza With Arugula. I knew this would be the perfect dish to use the remainder.
Quick and easy, this dish looks much more involved than it actually is! Love that.
Chicken with Prosciutto & Sage
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- course salt & freshly ground black pepper
- 4 fresh whole sage leaves, plus 4 minced sage leaves
- 4 chicken cutlets
- 4 slices thinly sliced prosciutto
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 3/4 cup dry white wine
- 1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon cold butter
Directions
- In a shallow bowl, stir together the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Dredge the cutlets in the seasoned flour; tap off the excess. Lay 1 sage lead lengthwise on each cutlet, then wrap a prosciutto slice around the middle of each cutlet, encasing the sage.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook 2 of the cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Place the cooked cutlets on a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 2 cutlets.
- Add the wine and broth to the skillet; cook over high heat until reduced by three quarters, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; let cool for 1 minute. Add the butter and minced sage; stir until the butter is melted, about 30 seconds. Spoon the sauce onto plates; top with the cutlets. Serve immediately.
To quote Tessa, “There’s something just dreamy about the flavor combination of prosciutto and sage; it’s both salty and earthy.” Sage has a strong, aromatic scent that conjures the Christmas season for me. (Anyone else?) It gives off a (delightfully!) pungent smell and has a warm although slightly bitter taste. The crispy prosciutto lends a nice texture to the chicken. Paired together, this is the ultimate in quick, savory meals.
Best served along side your favorite veggie, and a big scoop of Three-Cheese Risotto, natch.
Had to comment since we were both commenting on healthytipping at the same time; then I saw the cupcake and new it was meant to be. Cute colors to lift up my morning [your blog replacing black could not be more true!]

Me too!
Love-I can never get ANYTHING to stay wrapped around meat when i’m making it for people!
It looks delicious, but can we subsitute flour with another ingredient?
Lovin’ the new site!!
I’ve just realised that I had all the ingredients for this recipe, too. I think I will try this for dinner
This looks very tasty! Loving the new site too!
Great dinner! Looks really healthy and delicious – wish that was my dinner.
I can almost..almost smell it!:)) It’s morning and I am hungry for this now! Looks so gooddd!
Prosciutto is favorite ingredient. Wrapping it in chicken or salmon is the ultimate comfort food.
This looks awesome! Chicken gets so bland sometimes, so I love how this spices it up a bit. Thanks for sharing and I’ll be sure to re-subscribe!
The new site looks great! Fun recipe, too.
Love this meal AND your new site layout, both look fab!
I love the new site! Great job my friend!!

Ohh anything wrapped in sliced prosciutto is just fabulous. You did an amazing job on it and love the pictures. Makes me hungry.
This looks like a five star meal!! I bet it taste delicious!!
Always love new chicken recipes. Hubby just about only eats chicken so it’s nice to have variations on it!
Hey lady! The post text is crystal clear! Thanks for making it bigger
The comments section still has the blurr going on, but it could just be my PC? That recipe looks delicious. I am always in the market for more chicken recipes!
I’ve been into sage in a big way this winter! Sounds perfect, I’d love a plate of chicken and risotto…
I’d love a bite of that! Looks yummy good!
I like the new look!
It’s beautiful!! Your site looks great!!
Love the new layout! Just read your old post on your spam folder which led me to finally opening mine…and finding a ton of real comments! Oops! Thanks for the head’s up!!!
Simple and colorful meal. Meat and veggies, my kind of food.
Love the bright new blog page! What a fantastic looking chicken dish!
What a great, savory recipe! My husband loves prosciutto, but I’ve never tried it. After seeing this, can’t wait to!
AMAZING!! I love prosciutto! So good and this looks like it would be a perfect combo!
I love teh new look of your blog. I had chicken for dinner but I wished that I had looked at this first so I could have made it!
Your site looks great!! Nicely done!
Loving the dish too, actually, loving the actual dishes in addition to what is on top (I got a set at C&B outlet just a few months ago… love ‘em!)
The chicken with prosciutto is simply amazing… I’m eager to give this one a try!
Oh my! I love everything about this dish. Prosciutto, sage…what a way to dress up chicken.
Nice! Congratulations on the update, it looks wonderful.
I love saltimbocca alla romana; chicken is a nice touch although I’ve always considered the veal to be my favorite combined with prosciutto and wine.
Love the elegance and ease of this dish! Definitely going to have to try it out soon!
My mom used to make a dish JUST like this when I was growing up except she’d add a slice of mozzarella into the mix. Just saying. Cheese. Yum.
I love dishes that look more complex than they are because they ALWAYS impress others. And meanwhile you haven’t stressed out too much in the kitchen. Ideal.
Looks fabulous! The Chicken looks sensational and the new layout looks wonderful…a great combo!
Yummy! Proscuitto and chicken is the bomb! Great job!
That looks so good. I even think this would make an excellent sandwich.
What a lovely dish! It’s always great reading new ways to prepare Chicken- and what doesn’t taste better with a little prosciutto??
This was deja vu. This recipe is from the latest issue of Cooking Light and looks fantastic. I like the idea of subsituting wine for the lemon (they use lemon). You did an awesome job.
What a great dish! This looks absolutely delicious. So glad to have met you via foodbuzz.
