How to Make Chicken Saltimbocca With Spinach Pappardelle

  1. Pound chicken breasts (about 4, 6 ounces each) to 1/4-inch thickness.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 chicken breasts and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  3. Transfer chicken to a plate, tent with foil, and set aside.
  4. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
  5. Add 8 ounces sliced cremini mushrooms to the skillet and cook over high heat for 5 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil if needed.
  6. Pour in 1/2 cup Marsala wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  7. Reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, 1 tablespoon fresh sage (chopped), and 2 tablespoons butter until melted.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Meanwhile, cook pappardelle pasta according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water.
  11. While the pasta cooks, prepare the spinach: In a large bowl, combine 5 ounces fresh spinach (roughly chopped), 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon butter.
  12. Drain the pasta and add it to the bowl with the spinach mixture. Toss to coat and wilt the spinach.
  13. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  14. Serve the pappardelle immediately, topped with the chicken saltimbocca and Marsala sauce.
