Chicken Saltimbocca (Dairy-Free)

Pressing the sage leaf directly onto the chicken before wrapping it in prosciutto is what keeps the herb from sliding off during cooking.

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts, pounded thin
  • 8 fresh sage leaves
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp dairy-free butter

Method

  1. 1

    Season the pounded chicken breasts lightly with pepper (prosciutto is salty enough on its own).

  2. 2

    Press 2 sage leaves onto each chicken breast, then wrap each one snugly with 2 slices of prosciutto — pressing the sage directly against the meat first is what keeps it in place instead of sliding off once the prosciutto is wrapped around it.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and cook the chicken sage-side down first, 3-4 minutes, then flip and cook 3-4 more minutes until the prosciutto is crisp and the chicken is cooked through. Remove.

  4. 4

    Add chicken broth and lemon juice to the skillet, scraping up browned bits, and simmer 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Stir in dairy-free butter until glossy, spoon the sauce over the chicken before serving.
