Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Add Prosciutto and Sage

    Place 1 slice of prosciutto and 2 sage leaves on top of each chicken breast. Press down gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Coat with Flour

    Spread the flour on a plate and dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.

  4. 4

    Sear the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts, sage side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add Marsala Wine

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the Marsala wine and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in Dijon mustard.

  6. 6

    Return Chicken to Skillet

    Return the chicken to the skillet, top each piece with mozzarella cheese, and cover the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the chicken to cook through.

  7. 7

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the lid and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the sauce, swirling to combine. Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the sauce.
