Ingredients
3wholeboneless chicken breasts
2tbspsage
salt and pepperto taste
8ozprosciutto
Instructions
Put the boneless chicken breasts on a cutting board and sprinkle with sage, salt and pepper. Keep in mind the prosciutto is salty, so go easy on the salt. I think 1/4 t. per chicken breast is plenty.
3 whole boneless chicken breasts, 2 tbsp sage, salt and pepper
Wrap each breast with 2-3 slices of prosciutto, so that the prosciutto covers most of the chicken.
8 oz prosciutto
Cook in the air fryer at 400F for 15 minutes, turning once.
Check the temperature of the chicken with an instant read thermometer. If it is 160 F or above take the chicken out. Otherwise return it to the air fryer for another 2-6 minutes, depending on how close it is to done.
Let the chicken rest for five minutes before serving.
Notes
You could place a whole fresh sage leaf on the chicken instead of dried sage to make it more like Chicken Saltimbocca.
If you use smaller and thinner chicken breast cutlets reduce the cooking time to 10 minutes before checking the internal temperature.
