Ingredients
Method
Slice chicken breasts in half length wise. Place pieces, one at a time, in a resealable plastic bag, then pound with a meat mallet until 1/4" thick. Season both sides of the breasts with salt and pepper. Saute 2 pieces of chicken in oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat until browned,3-S minutes.Turn and cook 2 more minutes, then transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Saute remaining chicken in the same manner. Cook mushrooms in the saute pan over high heat,S minutes, or until beginning to brown. Add additional oil as needed to prevent burning. Deglaze with marsala, scraping up any browned bits, then add broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half,S minutes. Off heat, stir in prosciutto, sage, and butter until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper. |
Notes
The literal translation of this Italian classic is I/jump in the mouth." One taste, and I guarantee you'll see why. The Romans may not have been able to build a city in a day, but I'll give them a break. They did create delicious dishes like this saltimbocca [sahl-tihm-BOH- kuh], which can be on the table in well under an hour. Traditionally, saltimbocca is made with veal, but chicken works well too. The key is to pound the meat as thin as possi- ble so the cutlets cook quickly. Sweet marsala highlights the prosciutto and adds a touch of smokiness that enhances the sage. If you can't find it, use dry marsala or white wine, both of which are less sweet. Pasta is a logical choice for a side dish- wide ribbons of pappardelle are my favorite. But tagliatelle or fettuccine is good too. |
