Chicken Escalopes with Sage and Prosciutto Recipe
Flavors of Italy
Total time: 30 to 60 minutes
Prep. time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: Under 30 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
For 4 servings
- 8 small slices of Prosciutto
- 4 boneless skinless Chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 3 tbsp. fresh chopped sage
- 2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 25 g (2 tbsp.) unsalted butter
- 240 ml (1 cup) dry white wine
- Freshly ground pepper
Method
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten them into thin escalopes about 5 mm (1/4") thick.
- Combine the sage, flour and pepper and coat the escalopes with this mixture.
- In a large sauté pan, heat the butter and oil and brown the escalopes for about 3 minutes on each side, or until nicely colored. Don't fry too many at once: use two pans if necessary.
- Place 2 slices of prosciutto on each escalope; turn quickly so that the prosciutto-side is down in the skillet. Fry for 1 minute. Turn onto a plate (prosciutto up) and keep hot while the other escalopes are cooking. You could also place the prosciutto on the chicken just before serving if you prefer.
- Add the remaining flour and sage to the frying pan, make a roux with the juices, then add the wine. Bring to a boil, stirring well, and cook for about 3 minutes or until the sauce is reduced by half, stirring constantly.
- Just before serving, place a small amount of sauce on each escalope. Serve with a green vegetable and new potatoes.
