Place a sage leaf on both sides of your chicken breast and carefully wrap your prosciutto around the chicken and sage leaf. There is no need for toothpicks….

Remove you Garlic Chicken Saltimbocca from the pan, set aside and keep warm. Do NOT wash that pan!
In the same pan, add chardonnay or wine you are drinking and deglaze the pan. Cook for 2 minutes to cook down the alcohol (If you cannot have wine or are out of wine, exchange with chicken broth)
Remove the pan win the wine sauce from the burner and add a dab of butter and stir until melted.
