Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and pepper.
3.Dredge the chicken cutlets in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess.
4.Lay 1 slice of cheese on each piece of chicken and top with a slice of prosciutto, cutting the prosciutto to fit if necessary.
5.Lay 2 sage leaves on top of the prosciutto and squeeze a few drops of lemon juice over the sage leaves.
6.Roll up each cutlet and secure with a toothpick.
7.In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook until browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
