Chicken Saltimbocca for an Amazing Clean Eating Dinner Idea!

Ingredients

Serving Suggestions:

  • Brown rice quinoa, green beans, or broccolini would pair nicely with this chicken recipe.
  • makes 6 servings

Chicken

  • 2 lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 5-6 thin slices authentic thin-sliced prosciutto
  • 12 fresh large sage leaves
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 Tbsp gluten-free flour or Arrowroot powder
  • 2 Tbsps extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Slice each chicken breast in half lengthways, then place each slice between two sheets of plastic wrap, or parchment paper.
  • Gently pound, with the flat side of a mallet or a rolling pin, to an even 1/4 inch thickness as shown.
  • Next, place each chicken breast flat on your working surface and season with sea salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Place 2 fresh sage leaves on top, then wrap each chicken breast with a slice of prosciutto.
  • Heat your oil in a heavy skillet, over medium heat.
  • Add the chicken breasts in batches, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 4 minutes per side.
  • Once your chicken is done, remove from the skillet and set aside.
  • Pour in the wine and cook stirring constantly, while scraping your pan to loosen the browned bits.
  • Simmer until the wine is reduced and the alcohol is cooked off, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the broth with the flour until well combined.
  • Pour the broth mixture into your hot skillet with the wine, and stir to combine. As soon as it starts bubbling, it should also start to thicken up a bit.
  • Return cooked chicken back into your skillet and carefully nestle it into your sauce. I threw in a few extra sage leaves into the sauce at this point.
  • Continue to cook spooning hot sauce all over the chicken until heated through, just another minute or so.
  • Serve while hot and enjoy!
