Name: Prosciutto Sage Chicken, Garlic Style
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients: 4 chicken breast halves (pounded thin (24 ounces total weight)); 2 small pinches kosher salt; freshly ground black pepper; 30 fresh sage leaves (divided); 8 slices prosciutto; 1/4 cup avocado oil; 2 tablespoons butter; 4 cloves garlic (minced (2 cloves if large))

I’m a huge fan of prosciutto anything.

Prosciutto and melon? An absolute go-to. Prosciutto and fig jam pizza? THE dependable! But moist and tender chicken wrapped in sage and crispy prosciutto drizzled in garlic butter? Ahhmazing.

And it couldn’t be more simple to make! I usually serve this with asparagus and smashed potatoes or an simple arugula salad. But a would be notable with fettuccine Alfredo too.

The fresh sage truly compliments the salty prosciutto and the garlic butter sends everything over the top. Simple and impressive, my go-to kind of recipe.

To cook this Garlic Sage Prosciutto Chicken Gather:

boneless skinless chicken breasts
fresh sage leaves
prosciutto
olive oil
butter
garlic

Slice 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (24 ounces total weight) in half horizontally, so you have 4 (6 ounce) chicken breasts.

Place 2 chicken breasts in a large resealable bag and use the flat side of a meat tenderizer to pound to equal thickness. Remove and repeat with remaining chicken breasts.

Season chicken lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper. The prosciutto is salty all on its own so keep that in mind!

Top each breast with 5 sage leaves.

Lastly, wrap each breast in 2 slices or prosciutto.

I like to secure the prosciutto underneath the chicken breast with toothpicks. To be honest, I’m not sure how necessary the toothpicks are. I truly only do it because I’m worried the prosciutto will come off while cooking. However, I’ve never been brave enough to try without them either.

Meanwhile, heat 4 tablespoons avocado oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.

Once hot, place chicken sage side down into the oil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.

My regular way to test oil is by using a chopstick. If bubbles form around the tip when stuck into the oil, you are good to go.

Carefully turn the chicken and add 1 tablespoon butter, 3 to 4 minced cloves of garlic and 10 to 12 remaining sage leaves.

Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, tipping the pan and basting the chicken with the garlic sage butter.

Perfection! And it smells divine.

Serve immediately with your go-to sides and a glass of chilled white wine!
