As a result, saltimbocca is widely considered a classic Roman dish. It&#8217;s traditionally made with veal, but chicken has become a common substitute in saltimbocca recipes due to the cost of veal. Personal opinions about veal have also made it less prevalent in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>But fear not, chicken has come to the rescue as a deliciously juicy and full-flavor replacement. Pounded thin and topped with fresh sage and prosciutto, this chicken saltimbocca has all the classic Roman dish&#8217;s herbal, salty citrus flavor, and it comes together in under 30 minutes. Think of all the extra time you&#8217;ll have to enjoy the guests at your next dinner. However, you may want to keep the quick and easy part a secret because, after one bite, they won&#8217;t believe you anyway.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicken Saltimbocca Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> All-purpose flour is the best choice for dredging the chicken to create a crisp outer layer that holds in the chicken&#8217;s juices, and it also thickens the sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken breast:<\/strong> Boneless, skinless chicken breast halves get pressed thin to mimic the texture of the classic veal, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/veal-saltimbocca\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/veal-saltimbocca\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">saltimbocca all Romana<\/a>.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sage:<\/strong> Fresh, whole sage leaves are what give saltimbocca its herbal and subtle earthy flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prosciutto:<\/strong> Italian for &#8220;ham,&#8221; prosciutto is made by coating a high-quality pork leg with salt and allowing it to draw out all the moisture, or &#8220;cure&#8221; the meat. Because the salt absorbs the moisture, the pork is free from bacteria and safe to consume despite not being cooked. The process takes a year or more, and the final result yields salty and delicate meat with concentrated pork flavor.

If you&#8217;d rather not use wine, you can use additional chicken broth instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon slices and fresh sage (optional):<\/strong> Lemon slices and fresh sage garnish the finished chicken saltimbocca dish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Season and coat the chicken<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chicken-Saltimbocca_TOHD24_144690_EricKleinberg_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Chicken Saltimbocca photo of the pounded chicken breast topped with fresh sage, proscuitto and then dredged in flour chicken side only.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Place 1\/2 cup of the flour in a shallow bowl, and set it aside.

When you&#8217;re ready to enjoy it again, simply reheat the dish in the oven at 350\u00b0F until it&#8217;s warmed through, or you can heat it in the microwave.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze this recipe for chicken saltimbocca?<\/h3>\n<p>You can. To freeze it, allow the dish to cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container or wrap it tightly in aluminum foil and place it in a freezer-safe bag. Chicken saltimbocca will keep well in the freezer for up to four months. When you&#8217;re ready to eat it, thaw the dish in the refrigerator overnight and reheat it in the oven at 350\u00b0 until it\u2019s fully warmed through.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicken Saltimbocca Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2052076\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chicken-Saltimbocca_TOHD24_144690_EricKleinberg_5.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Recipes Chicken Saltimbocca photo of the finished recipe served on plates.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">ERIC KLEINBERG FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What pairs well with saltimbocca chicken?<\/h3>\n<p>This classic Italian dish works well with a variety of side dishes.

In fact, that is my favorite substitution, as chicken thighs are juicier and more flavorful than breasts. Just be sure to check that the internal temperature reaches 165\u00b0 before serving, as thigh meat can take a little longer to cook.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of my favorite recipes are those that come together fast enough for busy weeknights but are impressive enough to serve guests at an impromptu dinner.
