Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 slices of prosciutto

8 large fresh sage leaves

1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)

1 cup chicken broth

Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

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

    Wrap and Secure: Lay two slices of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast, followed by two sage leaves. Optionally, you can secure each bundle with toothpicks for easier handling.

      Dredge in Flour: Spread the flour on a large plate. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.

        Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, carefully lay the chicken breasts in the skillet, prosciutto side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown, then flip carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through and the prosciutto is crispy. Transfer the cooked chicken to a warm plate.

          Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Allow it to simmer for about 2 minutes. Next, add the chicken broth and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

            Combine and Serve: Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let everything heat through for about 2 minutes. Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges for a splash of fresh flavor.
