I had Chicken Saltimbocca in Buca de Bepo and I absolutely fell in love with this Italian classic. This is a simple and quick dish to make if you have the right ingredients lurking in your pantry. It can be enjoyed with simple Pasta or crusty bread and is surely a crowd pleasure. I am toning down on the butter to make it lighter but this has no effect on the taste whatsoever.
You will need:
♦ 2 Chicken Breasts butterflied ♦ 2 artichoke hearts halved
♦ 2 prosciutto strips cut in half ♦ 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
♦ ½ teaspoon salt ♦ ½ teaspoon of pepper
♦ ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes ♦ 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
♦ 1 teaspoon of sage ♦ 1 teaspoon lemon zest
♦ 1 teaspoon of capers ♦ 1 tablespoon of butter
♦ 1 tablespoon of olive oil ♦ 1/3 cup of white wine
♦ ½ cup chicken stock
What you need to do:
- Combine the flour salt and pepper and sprinkle over the Chicken breast and wrap them with prosciutto strips.
- Heat the sage and olive oil in a pan on a medium high heat and add the Chicken breasts to brown them which will take 4-5 mins on each side.
- In the same pan, add the rest of the ingredients except for the chicken stock and let the wine reduce to half.
- Once the wine has reduced, add the chicken stock and the butter. Cook till the butter melts and serve with desired sides.
