Saltimbocca with Chicken image

This is one of my favorite meals my mom used to make. Traditionally, it's made with veal, but I created my own version with chicken since it's a little easier to find. -Kristin Kossak, Bozeman, Montana

This dish was a little too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. I think next time I'll use less prosciutto.

Amazing recipe! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the flavors were incredible. I especially loved the tangy lemon sauce.

Made this last night and it was a hit! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the prosciutto and cheese added a delicious flavor. I also loved the crispy sage leaves. Will definitely be making this again!
