This is a nice change from a regular Chicken Parmesan. Actually, I would say it's a blending of Chicken Parm (tomatoes, herbs, and cheese) and Saltimbocca (proscuitto, sage, and white wine). When seasoning, be careful with the salt, since the proscuitto can have varying degrees of saltiness depending on the brand. Read more Also, use whatever herbs you have on hand... I plant basil, thyme, oregano, and sage every year, so that is what the recipe calls for, but you may use any combination of the above. See less
