Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, pounded to an even thickness

  • 4 slices prosciutto

  • 4 fresh sage leaves

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 3 fluid ounces dry white wine, or more as needed

  • 1 pinch salt

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place chicken breasts onto a sheet of parchment paper. Place a prosciutto slice and a sage leaf onto each breast. Roll chicken from the short end over prosciutto and secure with wooden skewers.

  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add rolled chicken and cook until well browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add wine, salt, and pepper; cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Editor's Note:

To make the magazine version of this recipe, while the chicken rests, let the pan juices simmer until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Garnish the chicken with herbs and serve with the pan juices. If desired, serve over lightly seasoned orzo.
