Kentucky Country Saltimbocca
Saltimbocca is a Roman dish initially made with veal, whose name translates
"jump in the mouth." Churchill Downs chef Gil Logan makes it with chicken, as
many chefs do, and substitutes Kentucky country ham for the prosciutto used in
Italy.
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 6-ounce boneless, skinless, chicken breast halves
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon flour
2 fresh sage leaves
4 ounces thinly sliced (Finchville Farms) country ham
2 ounces Kenny's Country Cheese, Jarlsberg
1 cup white wine
Melt butter in skillet over medium heat; add olive oil. Season chicken with salt
and pepper; dust with flour. Saute in skillet for approximately 5 minutes per
side. Top each chicken breast with a sage leaf, 2 ounces of country ham, then
cheese. Pour white wine into the skillet; simmer until cheese is melted. Serve
immediately.
Serves 2.
