Chicken Saltimbocca

Chicken and prosciutto is such a great combination. This dish is pretty easy, but once you slice the chicken, it looks really fancy.

Ingredients

4 chicken cutlets
1 cup fresh baby spinach
4 slices of prosciutto
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1 cup chicken broth
Juice from 1 lemon
olive oil
salt
pepper

Instructions

Salt and pepper the chicken. Place 1 slice of prosciutto on each chicken cutlet. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese evenly over each cutlet. Cover the cheese with the spinach on each cutlet (dividing the spinach evenly between the 4 cutlets). Starting at the short end, roll each cutlet and secure with toothpicks.

Heat some olive oil over medium heat in a large pan. Add the chicken and brown on each side, about 3 minutes each side. dd the chicken broth and lemon juice and boil. Cover the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. If you want some extra flavor and sauce for the chicken, remove the chicken from the pan and reduce the remaining liquid for another 5 minutes.
