Recipe Overview

Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 8

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 8 (6 oz) chicken cutlets
  

• 1 tsp salt
  

• ½ tsp black pepper
  

• 16 fresh sage leaves
  

• 16 slices of prosciutto
  

• 3 tbsp olive oil
  
  

For the Sauce:

• 1 cup dry white wine
  

• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  

• ½ stick butter
  
  

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

If the chicken cutlets are thick, use a mallet to pound them to about ½-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Place 2 sage leaves on each cutlet and wrap it with 2 slices of prosciutto to secure.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat 1½ tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 4 cutlets at a time, about 2 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add the wine and stir to release the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1 minute. Then, add the chicken broth and continue to simmer for 4–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until fully melted and creamy.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of sauce over each chicken cutlet. Pair with your favorite sides to create a perfect romantic meal.
