Ingredients

• 1 chicken cutlet (about 5 ounces)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4-5 fresh sage leaves
• 1 thin slice (about 1 1/2 ounce) prosciutto di Parma
• 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons white wine or dry white vermouth

Directions

1. Lay the chicken on a cutting board and, if necessary, pound it lightly to an even thickness. Sprinkle ones side lightly with salt and pepper. Flip the fillet; arrange the sage leaves and then the prosciutto on top, pressing with your palm to make them adhere.

2. Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Carefully—so that the prosciutto doesn’t fall off—lay the fillet prosciutto-side down in the skillet. When it has browned, after about 1 minute, turn and sear on the other side.

3. Reduce the heat to low and add the wine and about 2 tablespoons water. Partially cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
