The Italian word saltimbocca means to jump into one's mouth. This wonderful dish fulfills the promise with prosciutto and fresh sage leaves. Ingredients:
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour, divided |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
8 fresh sage leaves |
8 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 tablespoons white wine or additional chicken broth |
lemon slices and fresh sage, optional |
Directions:
1. Place 1/2 cup flour in a shallow bowl; set aside. Flatten chicken breasts to 1/4-in. thickness. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper; top each breast half with 2 sage leaves and 2 slices prosciutto, pressing to adhere. Dip chicken sides only in flour to coat.
2. In a large skillet, heat oil and butter over medium heat; cook chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and chicken is no longer pink. Remove and keep warm.
3. In a small bowl, whisk the chicken broth, lemon juice, wine and remaining flour; add to the skillet, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Spoon over chicken. Top chicken with lemon and sage if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
