Active: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 clove garlic, minced
  2. 6 fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped
  3. 4 chicken cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds)
  4. Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  5. 8 to 12 thin slices prosciutto
  6. 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  7. Juice of 1 lemon
  8. 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  9. 10 cups mixed baby lettuce (about 5 ounces)
  10. 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
  11. 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  12. 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle the garlic and sage on the chicken cutlets; season with salt and pepper. Wrap 2 or 3 slices prosciutto around each cutlet.
  2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until the prosciutto is golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk half of the lemon juice, the mustard, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Add the lettuce and tomatoes; toss to coat.
  4. Add the chicken broth and the remaining lemon juice to the skillet; cook over medium heat until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter and cook, stirring with a rubber spatula, until the butter melts and the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the salad. Drizzle with the pan sauce.

Yum! Simple, easy, delish! My young kids loved it, too!

I hate doing this because I love GZ’s recipe, but this was not good.  The overall flavor profile was way too salty and I didn’t even salt the breasts.  Then the butter finishing sauce also made the recipe too rich. Too salty and too rich, blech.  I will not be making again. 🙁
