    The savory prosciutto Parma ham is crisp on the outside and seals in the juices of chicken. The garlic wine butter sauce is enhanced by the delicious fresh woodsy sage leaves that is drizzled on the delicious chicken breasts.

    This time of the year we are always quite sentimental as it reminds us of Parma and soon to be olive season. The change of seasons into Autumn marks the festival of Prosciutto di Parma. There is no better way to celebrate then to make this delicious Garlic Chicken Saltimbocca wrapped in prosciutto.

    Garlic Chicken Saltimbocca is tender, juicy and a perfect low carb /keto-friendly/diabetic friendly main dish. It takes less than 30 minutes to throw together and this included some veggie sides.

    Prosciutto is an Italian dry cured ham that is usually sliced super thin and served uncooked (crudo) in an antipasti platter or wrapped around melon. Today we are using prosciutto wrapped around organic chicken breasts with sage leaves and sautéing in a pan with EVOO and garlic.  Veal is most common in this dish but also comes with a hefty price tag so we are substituting with organic chicken breasts.

    Do you use fresh sage often? As soon as the seasons start to cool this herb becomes a regular on our culinary menu. This delicious fragrant woodsy smelling herb is delicious in fall dishes and is certainly a star in many Thanksgiving dressing recipes and such. Sage is a bold herb so we only used 2 leaves per chicken breast.

    Of course garlic! And lots of it! We think it makes this dish shine. We like to slice the garlic and only add it during the second half of the cooking process to prevent the garlic from overcooking.

    Garlic Chicken Saltimbocca is made with just 7 little ingredients (if you exclude salt and pepper). Don’t you just love Italian dishes, just for this very reason. The quality ingredients just speak for themselves.

    Notes

    You can exchange white wine with chicken broth if desired. If you do not have fresh sage leaves then you can add ¼ teaspoon ground dried sage leaves into the broth after you add your wine or chicken broth to deglaze the pan.

        Made this for supper tonight and it was a HUGE hit! The only change was to add some oyster mushrooms at the end and let them steam in the sauce, then serve with chicken. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe! It's a keeper!

      What a neat dish! Love saltimbocca anything, and chicken is such a healthy choice. And fresh sage? Who can resist? 🙂

      My other half would love this dish, he is a real fan of chicken dishes and I think the ham would tip it over the edge for him.

        We love sage too such an earthy and fresh herb and it just meant for fall dishes. Thank you dear. Wishing you a super weekend!

      Yummy bigtime! Yes. always made this with veal: now too expensive and have 'gone off' using baby animals somehow anyways! Yes, I use lots of sage and love that you are slicing the garlic! I have tried this with the more succulent thighs: harder to slice it neatly but . . . Oh, I am on a verdelho kick at the moment but think chardonnay with its more pronounced flavour probably the better choice . . .

        Thank you Eha. We must try verdelho from Portugal. Sounds lovely. Chicken thighs would be lovely as well and super moist. Wishing you a Happy Mid- Autumn Festival! 中秋節快樂 (zhōng qiū jié kuài lè)!

          Thank you! Sorry to be plebeian but my Verdelho stems from Australia! These days, with Australian wines seemingly being sold all over the world [and not the 'best' ones I am afraid!], I drink those of other countries when there or when reduced price here l, but am happy with what I can buy . . . especially if special bins come up on special price!

      I love this dish because prosciutto and sage gives the chicken breast great flavor. Thank you for the recipe.
