Method

  1. 1

    Lay a sage leaf or two on each piece of flattened chicken and wrap tightly with a slice of prosciutto.

  2. 2

    Dust lightly with flour, shaking off any excess.

  3. 3

    Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken, prosciutto-side down first, for 3–4 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Remove and keep warm.

  4. 4

    Add the wine and butter to the pan, scraping up any bits, and let it bubble for 1–2 minutes until slightly reduced.

  5. 5

    Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with a lemon wedge.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 150 g chicken breast and ¾ lemon. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
