Yield 4-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 1 1/2 pounds) See Note
12 large fresh sage or basil leaves
2 to 3 oz thinly sliced prosciutto di Parma
1/3 c unbleached all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 T extra virgin olive oil
1/3 c dry Marsala or sherry
One 14-oz can artichoke hearts
1 c Homemade Chicken Stock
T unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place a chicken breast half in a plastic bag and close, leaving 1/2 inch open. Pound the bag with a rolling pin or meat pounder until the breast is about ¼ inch thick; remove and set aside. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Put 3 sage leaves on the less smooth side of each pounded chicken breast. Cover them with the prosciutto and press until they adhere. Cover the breasts and chill them for 10 minutes. Cut each breast crosswise in half. Spread out the four in a pie plate lined with wax paper or parchment. Season half the chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste. Working with one piece at a time, coat the chicken with the flour, lifting the wax paper on both sides to move the piece around; shake off the excess flour. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot; reduce the heat to medium. Sauté the chicken for 2 minutes per side, or until the pieces are golden and just cooked through; remove them to a plate and cover them loosely with aluminum foil. Repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Add the Marsala to the skillet; bring it to a boil, scraping up the brown bits at the bottom of the pan, and simmer for about 1 minute, or until the pan is almost dry. Drain and coarsely chop the artichoke hearts (about 1 1/3 cups). Add them to the skillet along with the chicken stock and simmer until reduced by half. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer just until reheated. Add the butter to the pan and swirl until it has melted. Divide the chicken among 4 dinner plates; spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

I've always been a fan of chicken saltimbocca, but this recipe takes it to the next level with the addition of artichoke sauce. The sauce is rich and decadent, and it pairs perfectly with the crispy chicken.

This chicken saltimbocca with artichoke sauce was an absolute delight! The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy, while the artichoke sauce was creamy and flavorful. I served it over pasta and it was a hit with my family.
