Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash with butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cauliflower

    Cut the cauliflower into florets and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Saltimboca

    Lay 2 slices of prosciutto on each chicken breast, followed by 2 sage leaves and a slice of Fontina cheese.

  5. 5

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts, prosciutto side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for another 4 minutes. Remove from skillet.

  6. 6

    Make the Marsala Jus

    In the same skillet, pour in the Marsala wine and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until reduced by half. Stir in butter for a glossy finish.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Plate the potato purée, add roasted cauliflower and artichokes. Top with the chicken saltimboca and drizzle with Marsala jus.
