Music by Bill Russell | Chicken Saltimbocca with orzo by Chef Lacey Franklin

For reference…

Chicken Saltimbocca is an Italian-inspired dish that combines the flavors of chicken, sage, prosciutto, and cheese. The name “Saltimbocca” literally means “jumps in the mouth” in Italian, referring to the explosion of flavors and textures in each bite.

This dish typically consists of thinly pounded chicken breasts, wrapped with prosciutto (Italian ham) and fresh sage leaves, then pan-fried and finished with a rich, buttery sauce. The chicken is often served with melted fontina cheese and a sprinkle of parsley or sage leaves.
