Pound chicken with a meat mallet until it is close to the same thickness all over about 1/4 inch.

Lay a slice of prosciutto over breast, 2 if they are thin, top with two sage leaves, laying them top to bottom down the centre of the breast. Distribute cheese equally among the breasts again lay it top to bottom down the centre of the breast.
3
Fold breast over to join, secure with kitchen string at close intervals, tying as tightly as you can, to prevent cheese from melting out of the chicken breast during cooking.
4
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan, add chicken breasts and brown on both sides to give the breast a nice rich colour.
