Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.

  2. 2

    Season the Chicken

    Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Chicken

    Lay 2 slices of prosciutto on each chicken breast, followed by a slice of fresh mozzarella. Fold the chicken over to enclose the filling.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sauté Spinach

    In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the spinach and sauté until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. 5

    Cook Chicken

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

  3. 6

    Deglaze and Finish

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the skillet. Deglaze the pan with white wine, scraping any bits from the bottom. Add the sautéed spinach back to the skillet and stir in fresh basil. Return the chicken to the skillet to warm through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the chicken saltimbocca on a plate, topped with the sautéed spinach. Enjoy warm.
