Equipment

cast iron skillet
Meat Mallet

Ingredients

1½ pound chicken
¼ pound crudo ham sliced thinly
8 leaves sage
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
5 tbsp flour all-purpose
6 tbsp butter
1 cup white wine

Instructions

Start by gathering all the ingredients.
Pat the chicken fillets dry and make sure they are thinly sliced. Put some flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper.
Dredge the cutlets in the flour, shake off the excess.
Place on each piece of chicken some crudo and a leaf of sage. Prick it with a toothpick.
Put some butter in a cast iron skillet or pot and let it melt. Once the butter has melted and is warm, add the chicken let it cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Turn each slice of chicken on the other side and cook it for 2-3 minutes more minutes.
At this point the chicken should be golden and the prosciutto and sage crispy. Remove the chicken and set it aside. Add the white wine, and while you let it evaporate, scrap the bottom of the pan with a spatula in order to collect all those tasty chicken bits.
Remove the chicken from the pot. Place it on a serving platter and add the sauce on top. Mangia.
