Ingredients

8 pieces of thin-sliced chicken breast, each pounded to about 1/8" thick

8 slices of ham large enough to cover the chicken pieces (use multiple slices if necessary)

1 Tbsp olive oil + 8 Tbsp for cooking

6 cloves garlic

4 tsp dried sage, crumbled

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/4 cup white wine

salt and pepper

lemon juice (optional)

Directions

Mash garlic through a press, or mince finely.

Make a paste out of 1 Tbsp olive oil, garlic, sage, and salt.

Divide paste among chicken, runbbing into one side of each breast.

Top with a slice of ham. If desired, secure with toothpicks, though with careful handling those aren't necessary.

In a heavy skillet over high heat, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil until smoking. Place two chicken pieces, ham side down, and cook 30 seconds. Turn and cook 15 seconds more. Remove to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm. Repeating the procedure with the remaining pieces. BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERCOOK THE MEAT!

Deglaze the pan with the chicken broth and white wine, simmering until the volume is reduced by half. Salt and pepper to taste, and if desired, finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.

Serve saltimbocca drizzled with sauce.
