Lemony Chicken Saltimbocca

I have quite the aversion to pig products (pork, ham, pancetta, etc) and my poor boyfriend usually just has to suffer through dinner without these ingredients.  But the January/February issue of Cooking Light had a recipe for Lemony Chicken Saltimbocca that looked delicious, so I decided to finally treat him to a little bit of prosciutto. (I hope he doesn’t get used to this!)
Lemony Chicken Saltimbocca

Ingredients:

  • 4  (4-ounce) chicken cutlets
  • 1/8  teaspoon  salt
  • 12  fresh sage leaves
  • Extra dried sage (if you want a bit more sage taste)
  • 2  ounces  very thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 8 thin strips
  • 4  teaspoons  extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2/3  cup  fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2  cup  fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon  cornstarch
  • 4 oz angel hair pasta 
Cook pasta according to directions on box. Drain and set aside.
Season the chicken with salt. Place three sage leaves on each cutlet.  Wrap 2 prosciutto slices around each cutlet to keep the sage leaves in place.

Heat a sauté pan over medium heat. Add one tablespoon oil and add chicken. Cook for 2 minutes on each side, using a spatula or tongs to flip the chicken. Remove chicken from pan and keep warm.

Combine the chicken broth, lemon juice and corn starch. Stir with a whisk until smooth.

Add to sauté pan with 1 teaspoon oil and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly with a whisk.

Add to a plate and top with the chicken.

This had so much more flavor than I was expecting. This dish looks more difficult that it really is because of the wrapped prosciutto. The only difference between the original recipe and my dish was that I doubled the sauce amount. Next time I might add a bit of zest to up the lemony flavor.

This is something you can make your own. Add capers, provolone cheese, or fresh cherry tomatoes. Serve with a side of spinach, broccoli, or asparagus. All of these additions would be great!
