1-Preparing the Chicken: Start by seasoning the 2 lb chicken cutlets on both sides with salt and pepper. Lay prosciutto over each piece (trim as needed) and press 1 2 sage leaves onto the top. Secure with toothpicks to ensure everything stays in place during cooking. This technique might remind you of our wrapped protein recipes that similarly use flavorful coatings to enhance main dishes.

Next, lightly coat the chicken in flour, shaking off excess, and set on parchment paper. This creates a delicate crust that helps the chicken achieve a beautiful golden color while maintaining moisture inside.

2-Cooking the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter. When melted, place the chicken prosciutto‑side down and sear 2 3 min until golden. Flip and cook another 1 2 min until fully cooked. Transfer to a wire rack; repeat in batches, adding more oil and butter as required.

“The sizzle sound when the prosciutto hits the hot pan is music to a cook’s ears that’s when you know you’re doing it right!”

Throughout this process, you’ll notice a wonderful aroma filling your kitchen as the prosciutto crisps and the sage releases its fragrant oils.

3-Creating the Perfect Sauce: For the sauce, pour the white wine into the skillet, increase heat to high, and deglaze, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan. These browned bits (called fond) are pure flavor gold! After 1 min, add the chicken broth and reduce by half (≈ 3 min). Lower to medium-low, stir in the remaining butter until incorporated.

The key here is reduction letting the sauce cook down until it thickens slightly and concentrates its flavors. This process transforms simple ingredients into a luxurious sauce that perfectly complements the chicken.

Taste the sauce, adjusting salt and pepper. Return the chicken to the pan, gently coat, and warm through for about 2 min. This step allows the chicken to absorb some of the sauce’s flavors while finishing the cooking process.

Finally, sprinkle with minced parsley and serve immediately. The fresh parsley adds a vibrant color and a burst of freshness that balances the rich flavors of the dish.
