I always have individually wrapped Chicken Breast Fillets in my freezer. These chicken breasts come in 4oz portions, the perfect serving. I wanted to make a simple chicken dinner that was as easy as it was delicious. I looked at what else was in my pantry and refrigerator and found everything I need to make Chicken Breasts wrapped in Prosciutto seasoned with Sage and Lemon. I paired the chicken with sautéed spinach and grape tomatoes... It was delicious! This also makes an awesome entree for a dinner party or family celebration.
INGREDIENTS
2 to 4 pieces organic boneless chicken breast fillets
4 Garlic cloves sliced
1/2 Teaspoon of Pink Himalayan salt
1/4 Teaspoon of Ground Pepper
6 - 8 Fresh Sage leaves
2 - 4 Thin Slices of Prosciutto
1 Lemon (1/2 sliced into thin rounds)
Two Tablespoons of Capers (drained)
1/2 Pint of Grape Tomatoes
1/4 Cup of Flour
Toothpicks or skewers
Two Tablespoons Olive Oil
Two large pats of butter melted
INSTRUCTIONS
Thaw chicken breasts, rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Salt and Pepper the both sides of the chicken, then wrap the chicken with a slice of prosciutto and skewer the sage leaves in place.
Dredge the chicken in flour and place one thin slice of lemon on each breast and set aside.
Heat a sauté pan over medium heat, add butter and oil.
Once hot add chicken with the sage/lemon side down.
Add garlic, a few sage leaves if you have any left over and sauté until chicken is nicely browned on the one side. Do not burn the garlic. If it is cooking to fast remove it and add it back in later.
Lower heat and turn over chicken and continue to cook the other side.
(Note: add more butter or oil if needed)
Add capers and juice of 1/2 lemon. Just before done add tomatoes and cook for a few minutes longer.
Serve with your choice of vegetables. I served with sautéed spinach. Plate and pour pan sauce over chicken and spinach.
