For the Chicken

  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Consider using fresh minced garlic for better flavor.

For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil Use cooking spray to reduce calories if desired.

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the boneless skinless chicken cutlets with a light sprinkle of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Let rest for about 5 minutes to enhance the flavor.
  2. Place 2-3 fresh sage leaves on each seasoned chicken cutlet and wrap tightly with two slices of prosciutto.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Cook the chicken cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, add ½ cup of low sodium chicken broth and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Combine with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch and bring to a gentle boil for about 1 minute.
  6. Return the chicken cutlets to the skillet and soak in the sauce for an additional minute before serving.
