Chicken Saltimbocca Recipe

My husband orders Chicken Saltimbocca whenever it is on the menu. I wanted to surprise him by making it for the valentine’s holiday,

He was so smitten he had to share with his social media friends. There were a few requests for recipes and since it was a mish mash, wrote it out. The salimbocca chicken was plated with steamed chopped spinach mixed with cooked onions, celery, and a drizzle of remaining cooking broth.

I found a few varieties of this dish available when searching. I tend to mix and match recipes often, due to what supplies are on hand mostly. The end result of this combo needed to be saved due to the simple ingredients and ease of preparation. Most often this is made with Prosciutto, but in a pinch I used pepperoni and really enjoyed the outcome.

  • 1 tsp. minced parsley
  • 1/2 clove garlic (or garlic powder to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
