Chicken Saltimbocca

Recipe Directions

1. For best results, take the chicken out of the refrigerator 10 minutes before starting to cook. If you skip this step, you may need to cook the chicken longer than this recipe card indicates. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit.
2. Cut open the package of chicken breast (a) and place on a plate. Season on both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Heat a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. When the pan has warmed up, add 1 tbsp of oil or enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the chicken breast to the pan and sear for 2 minutes. Then turn over and sear the other side for 2 minutes.(If you are preparing more than 4 servings, sear both sides for 3 minutes).
4. After searing, remove the pan from the heat. Take 1 piece of prosciutto (b) and tear into smaller pieces. Place on top of a chicken breast. Take 1 sage leaf (c) and tear into smaller pieces and place on top of the prosciutto. Repeat for all chicken breasts.
5. Sprinkle the mozzarella (d) on top of the chicken breasts. Open the container of potatoes (e) and drain the water. Add the potatoes to the pan. Use a wooden spoon to spread the potatoes out around the chicken.
6. Then put the pan back on the stovetop over medium-high heat to warm up for 1 minute. After 1 minute, place the pan in your 425 degree oven. Bake for 7 minutes.
7. While the chicken and potatoes are in the oven, heat a medium saucepot over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. When the pot has warmed up, add the mushrooms (f) to the pot. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Remove the pot from the heat. Pour the mushroom sherry sauce (g) into the pot with the mushrooms. Then return the pot to medium-high heat and bring the sauce up to a simmer. Once simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a simmer.
9. When the chicken has finished baking, remove the pan from the oven. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board to rest for 2 minutes. Let the potatoes rest in the pan.
10. After resting, place the chicken on your serving plates. Serve the potatoes beside the chicken. Spoon the mushrooms and sauce over everything.
