Busy Momma Recipe: Chicken Saltimbocca

One of Travis and my favorite meals is the Chicken Saltimbocca at Maggiano's. And all though, I will admit that this recipe isn't an exact replica, it's pretty darn good (& quick) for a home cooked version.

Chicken Saltimbocca

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham, halved
8 fresh sage leaves
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 c. white wine
1/4 c. sour cream
1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. minced fresh sage

Cut slit lengthwise through the thickest part of each chicken breast (It's easiest to cut the chicken breast when it's slightly frozen); fill with prosciutto and 2 sage leaves. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.

In large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in oil for 1-2 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to low; cover & cook for 8-10 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove & keep warm.

Add wine to the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until slightly reduced. Stir in sour cream, sugar & minced sage; heat through (do not boil). Serve with chicken.

I served with brown rice and oven-roasted asparagus...yum!
