Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 slices of prosciutto

8 fresh sage leaves

1 cup all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup dry white wine

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the chicken to about 1/2-inch thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Wrap with Prosciutto: Lay 2 slices of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast, then place 2 sage leaves on top of the prosciutto. Press down gently to adhere.

Dredge the Chicken: Spread the flour onto a plate and dredge the chicken breasts, coating both sides and shaking off excess flour.

Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the chicken breasts, prosciutto side down, in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the white wine and lemon juice. Stir to deglaze the pan, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, reducing slightly.

Finish the Dish: Lower the heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the sauce, whisking until melted and combined. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top, and let it heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Serve: Plate the chicken, garnishing with chopped parsley. Drizzle the pan sauce over the top and serve warm.
