Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 8 slices of Parma ham or Serrano ham
  • 16 sage leaves
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Pepper from the mill
  • ¼ liter orange juice
  • 4 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • possibly sauce thickener

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Halve the chicken fillets and flatten slightly. Place a slice of ham and two sage leaves on each fillet, fold over, and secure with toothpicks. Heat oil and butter in a pan and fry the fillets for two minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and season with pepper. Deglaze the pan juices with orange juice and vinegar, reduce slightly, and thicken to taste. Return the fillets to the pan and let them cook. As a side dish, I recommend my “Penne with Zucchini” recipe. Tip: During asparagus season, the chicken fillets also make a delicious side dish with fresh asparagus.
