Ingredients for Andrea Immer S Chicken Breast With Prosciutto Sage

  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Halves
  • 20 fresh sage leaves
  • 4-6 thin slices of prosciutto (approximately 2-3 ounces total)

  • Dry Sherry

How to Make Andrea Immer S Chicken Breast With Prosciutto Sage

  1. Pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. Lay 5 fresh sage leaves on top of each chicken breast half.
  3. Wrap a thin slice of prosciutto (approximately 2-3 ounces total per chicken breast) around each sage-topped chicken breast and secure with a toothpick.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Place chicken breasts in the skillet, sage side down.
  6. Cover the skillet and cook for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove the cover. Turn chicken over and cook uncovered for another 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  9. Plate the chicken and spoon the pan sauce over the top.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
