Method
-
1
Dry the cutlets and season with pepper. Lay two sage leaves on each, then press a slice of prosciutto over the top.
-
2
Warm the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the cutlets prosciutto-side down about 3 minutes until crisp, then flip and cook until the chicken reaches 74°C (165°F). Move them to a plate.
-
3
Pour the chicken stock into the pan, scrape up the browned bits and simmer until reduced by about half.
-
4
Switch off the heat and swirl in the butter and a squeeze of lemon. Spoon the sauce around the chicken, not over the crisp topping.
