Recipe: Saltimbocca alla Romana

For a little bit of Italy right in your own kitchen, here's an easy recipe for Saltimbocca alla Romana:

Chicken (one split breast per person) or veal
Prosciutto crudo (raw ham, about an ounce per person, sliced thin)
Fresh sage
White flour
Butter
Toothpicks

Slice chicken across as thin as possible and cover each piece with a layer of flour. Divide ham to equal the amount of chicken pieces and wrap each piece with ham. Place a leaf of sage on top and hold together with a toothpick.

Heat skillet on stove and melt butter (to keep from sticking). Cook each toothpicked package until light brown and continue adding butter to keep from sticking.

Serve with vegetables of your choice and Italian red wine.
