CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA WITH SAGE
An Italian favorite that can be found at many trattoria's, saltimbocca is pretty easy to make at home, too. We opted for chicken breasts over the more traditional veal, but still kept them wrapped up in a tasty blanket of fresh sage leaves and thin slices of prosciutto. Round out this simple weeknight meal with a side of steamed squash or a Tomato Salad with Lemon and Mint.

CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA MEATLOAF
Oh my god! is my first reaction. I love chicken saltimbocca but it's something you need to make and eat immediately. I decided to make it an entire day in advance and this was simply amazing. My husband does not like the word meatloaf! However, every time I make him one he loves it, including this recipe. I used all of the ingredients as my chicken saltimbocca but used ground chicken. Enjoy this delicious paleo dish today (or tomorrow). You can make just 1 loaf or up to 4 mini loaves! You pick.

CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA WITH ARTICHOKE SAUCE
Steps:
- Place a chicken breast half in a plastic bag and close, leaving 1/2 inch open. Pound the bag with a rolling pin or meat pounder until the breast is about ¼ inch thick; remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Put 3 sage leaves on the less smooth side of each pounded chicken breast. Cover them with the prosciutto and press until they adhere. Cover the breasts and chill them for 10 minutes. Cut each breast crosswise in half. Spread out the four in a pie plate lined with wax paper or parchment. Season half the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste. Working with one piece at a time, coat the chicken with the flour, lifting the wax paper on both sides to move the piece around; shake off the excess flour. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot; reduce the heat to medium. Sauté the chicken for 2 minutes per side, or until the pieces are golden and just cooked through; remove them to a plate and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Add the Marsala to the skillet; bring it to a boil, scraping up the brown bits at the bottom of the pan, and simmer for about 1 minute, or until the pan is almost dry. Drain and coarsely chop the artichoke hearts (about 1 1/3 cups). Add them to the skillet along with the chicken stock and simmer until reduced by half. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer just until reheated. Add the butter to the pan and swirl until it has melted. Divide the chicken among 4 dinner plates; spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for free-range chicken breasts, thick-cut prosciutto, and fresh sage leaves.
- To ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, flatten them to an even thickness before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken breasts. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken breasts are cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken saltimbocca immediately after cooking, garnished with fresh sage leaves and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Conclusion:
Chicken saltimbocca is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its combination of tender chicken, savory prosciutto, and aromatic sage, it's a dish that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, chicken saltimbocca is a great choice.
