This recipe adds a touch of elegance to any meal and is surprisingly simple to prepare at home.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and peel the potatoes, then cut them into even-sized chunks.
- Place the potato chunks on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tender, turning halfway through the cooking time.
- Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it in half horizontally, but do not cut all the way through. Open the chicken breasts like a book.
- Lay a slice and a half of prosciutto over each chicken breast, followed by evenly distributing the chopped sage.
- Fold the chicken breasts back over so the prosciutto and sage are inside, and secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter is melted and the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts, if used, and slice them into medallions.
- Plate the roasted potatoes alongside the chicken saltimbocca.
- Serve each plate with a side of mixed greens or salad mix for a fresh contrast to the savory dish. Drizzle with olive oil and a splash of lemon juice if desired for added flavor.
- Enjoy your homemade chicken saltimbocca, a delightful blend of savory chicken, crispy prosciutto, aromatic sage, and perfectly roasted potatoes with a fresh side salad.
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors more effectively.
- Use fresh sage leaves for a more aromatic and vibrant taste.
- Cook the prosciutto until it's just crispy to add a delicious texture contrast with the tender chicken.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking, which helps it retain its juices and stay moist.
- You can use a mixture of greens or any preferred salad mix to add freshness and balance to the dish.
Chicken Saltimbocca is a delightful dish that's perfect for any occasion. With its harmonious blend of flavors and simple preparation process, you'll be able to enjoy an authentic Italian meal in no time. Serve it hot with the roasted potatoes and a refreshing salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
