Steps:
- Place the chicken cutlets flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Lay 1 slice of prosciutto atop each chicken cutlet.
- Squeeze the frozen spinach to remove the excess water. Season the spinach with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, toss the spinach with 1 tablespoon of oil to coat.
- Arrange an even, thin layer of spinach atop the prosciutto slices. Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over each. Beginning at the short tapered end, roll up each chicken cutlet as for a jellyroll. Secure with a toothpick.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook just until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice, and scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Simmer the cooking liquid over high heat until it is reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Season the cooking liquid with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove toothpicks from the chicken. Drizzle the reduced cooking liquid over the chicken and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Rinse and pat dry chicken breast halves and place them smooth-side up on a work surface. Place four sage leaves at an angle atop each chicken breast half, spacing them evenly for a uniform, striped look. Carefully center a prosciutto slice atop the chicken breast widthwise, covering sage leaves, and wrap the slice around, securing it in back with toothpicks.
- In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil on medium. Place chicken breasts sage-side down in pan, cover and cook 10 minutes. Turn chicken breasts and continue cooking, uncovered, until cooked though, 5-7 minutes depending on thickness.
- Transfer chicken breasts to dinner plates. Add sherry to pan and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, scraping to loosen any browned bits, for 1 minute, until liquid in pan becomes a syrupy glaze. Place each chicken breast half on a dinner plate, spoon some pan glaze over each and serve immediately.

A lighter version of the original. Be sure that the cutlets are even thickness so they cook evenly. This recipe does not call for cheese, which lets the wonderful fresh sage flavor stand through. Adapted from Cooks Illustrated.

SANDY'S CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA
Try this and you'll know why they call it saltimbocca--Italian for 'jump in your mouth.' It's kind of like it jumps right off of your plate. Though it's traditionally made with veal, I made it with chicken. Quick, easy, and so delicious!

Steps:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Spread the flour on a plate and dredge each breast, coating evenly and shaking off the excess. Set aside.
- In a large fry pan or sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter with the olive oil until very hot. Add the chicken breasts and cook until the undersides are golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over and continue to cook until they feel firm when pressed in the centers, 4 to 6 minutes more.
- Reduce the heat to very low. Sprinkle the breasts evenly with the chopped or dried sage. Top each breast with a piece of prosciutto, then divide the cheese slices evenly among the breasts. Cover the pan tightly and cook until the cheese is melted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and tent with aluminum foil, being careful not to allow the foil to touch the cheese.
- Increase the heat to high. When the pan is sizzling, add the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up any browned bits stuck on the pan bottom. Boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1 Tbs. butter.

Tips:
- For the best results, use thin-sliced chicken breasts or cutlets. This will ensure that they cook evenly and quickly.
- If you don't have prosciutto on hand, you can substitute another type of dry-cured ham, such as Serrano or Parma ham.
- Fresh sage is the best choice for this recipe, but if you don't have it, you can use dried sage instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried sage is more concentrated.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to ensure that it cooks evenly.
- To make sure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
