We like to use perfect portion chicken, and since it was sale at like 50% off this weekend, we stocked up!
Then I got the mail and my new Cooking Light magazine was there...with a feature on Chicken Makeovers...fate? I say yes.
So i decided to make the recipe on the cover. Done in 20 minutes. Easy for a weekday. I did make a little more sauce that i was suppose to, so i could toss the angel hair in it.
EDIT: after eating this, i would cut back on the lemon JUST a hair. Hubby thought it was ok, but it was a little too lemony. Next time i'm going to add some fresh crushed garlic as well.
Lemony Chicken SaltimboccaIngredients4 (4-ounce) chicken cutlets
1/8 teaspoon salt
12 fresh sage leaves
2 ounces very thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into 8 thin strips
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1/3 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
Lemon wedges (optional)
Preparation
1. Sprinkle the chicken evenly with salt. Place 3 sage leaves on each cutlet; wrap 2 prosciutto slices around each cutlet, securing sage leaves in place.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; cook for 2 minutes on each side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm.
3. Combine broth, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir with a whisk until smooth. Add cornstarch mixture and the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil to pan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute or until slightly thickened, stirring constantly with a whisk. Spoon sauce over chicken. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
