Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "SO good," raves Lonnie. "Added a few capers at the end and a little garlic powder with the salt and pepper. Quick and easy. I could serve this to company!" "This dish was delicious," according to jp. "The only thing I changed was to add 2 tbsp. of cornstarch to the wine sauce to thicken it up a bit. I will definitely put this into the rotation!" "Because the deli in my market was closed for remodeling, I substituted the prosciutto with bacon," says powellsandrayshepard. "It was delicious." Editorial contributions by Corey Williams Cook Mode (Keep screen awake) Ingredients 1x 2x 4x Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 8 (6 ounce) chicken cutlets 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon black pepper 16 large fresh sage leaves 16 thin slices prosciutto 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 cup dry white wine 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth ½ stick butter Directions If cutlets are thick, lay them between 2 sheets of wax paper and pound to 1/2-inch thickness using the flat side of a meat mallet or the bottom of a small, heavy skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Place 2 large sage leaves on top of each cutlet, then wrap 2 slices prosciutto crosswise around each cutlet, holding sage in place. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 cutlets and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer to a platter; tent with foil to keep warm. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and remaining 4 cutlets. Pour wine into the same skillet; simmer, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon, about 1 minute. Pour in broth and simmer until slightly reduced, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; add butter and swirl the skillet until butter has melted and sauce is creamy. Spoon 2 tablespoons sauce over each cutlet to serve. I Made It Print 124 home cooks made it!
