Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Prepare the Chicken: Lay each chicken breast half flat on a sheet of parchment paper. Top each with a slice of prosciutto and a fresh sage leaf. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Roll and Secure: Starting from the short end, tightly roll each chicken breast over the prosciutto and sage. Secure with wooden skewers, ensuring the roll is firm. (5 minutes)

03

Step
10 mins

Sear the Roulades: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken roulades and sear until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. (8-12 minutes)

04

Step
12 mins

Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Season with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 8-10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165°F (74°C). (10-15 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken roulades from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Drizzle with pan sauce.

For even cooking, ensure the chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness.
Use high-quality prosciutto for the best flavor.
If the pan becomes too dry during simmering, add a splash more white wine or chicken broth.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or creamy polenta for a complete meal.
