Servings: persons

4 to 6 (8-ounce) boneless; skinless chicken breasts
16 to 24 fresh sage leaves, plus more for garnish
8 to 12 paper-thin slices country ham; prosciutto; or Serrano ham (about 6 to 8 ounces total)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil, plus more if needed
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup Marsala or port
3/4 cup chicken stock or low-fat; reduced-sodium chicken broth
coarse salt

1
Place a chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and, using a kitchen or meat mallet, pound to slightly over 1/4 inch thick.
2
Repeat with the remaining chicken.
3
Place 4 fresh sage leaves on each cutlet; top with 1 or 2 slices of ham and press lightly to adhere.
4
Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate to set, at least 10 minutes.
5
Place the flour in a shallow dish and season with pepper (no salt is necessary because of the salty ham).
6
To cook the cutlets, heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat.
7
Working with 2 pieces at a time, dredge both sides of the chicken in flour, then shake off the excess flour the chicken should be lightly dusted.
8
Without crowding, add 2 pieces of chicken to the skillet, ham side down first, and saute for 2 to 3 minutes per side.
9
Transfer to a warm platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
10
Repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more oil if necessary.
