Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breast halves pounded thin (24 ounces total weight)
  • 2 small pinches kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 30 fresh sage leaves divided
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced (2 cloves if large)

Instructions

  • Place 2 chicken breasts in a large resealable bag and use the flat side of a meat tenderizer to pound to equal thickness. Remove and repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
  • Season chicken lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Top each breast with 5 sage leaves and wrap in 2 slices or prosciutto.
    (I like to secure the prosciutto to the back of the chicken with toothpicks)
  • Heat the olive oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place chicken sage side down into the oil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Carefully turn the chicken and add butter, garlic and remaining sage leaves.
  • Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, basting the chicken with the garlic sage butter.
  • Once fully cooked, serve immediately with a spoonful or two of the butter.
