Preparation

Step 1
Wash and dry fillets, and pound the breasts with a rolling pin until they are less than ⅛ inch thick. Arrange 1 slice of prosciutto on ½ of each fillet.
Step 2
Wash, dry and chop sage, and sprinkle over prosciutto. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and fold the other half of the fillet over the prosciutto. Press edges to seal.
Step 3
Heat oil in small nonstick skillet until it is medium hot. Add the fillets, and brown quickly on both sides, only a couple of minutes.
Step 4
Reduce heat to low, and add wine. Stir around in pan, and serve with wine poured over saltimbocca.
