CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PROSCIUTTO & SAGE

Category: Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
20 sage leaves
4 slices prosciutto
1 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp dry sherry

Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch). Lay 5 sage leaves on top of each chicken breast. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each sage-topped chicken breast and secure with toothpick.

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium. Place chicken breasts in skillet, sage side down. Cover skillet and cook chicken for 10 minutes. Remove cover. Turn chicken over and cook uncovered for another 4-5 minutes. Add sherry and stir, scraping up any extra bits from bottom of pan. Plate chicken and spoon sauce over top, Serves 4

Note: I use small chicken breast halves (5 to 6 oz each). If you only have giant chicken breasts, start with 2 and split them in half cross-wise to make 4. It is very important to use the right size chicken breast here so the cooking time will be accurate.
