Originating from Italy, Chicken Saltimbocca is a classic Italian dish that combines tender chicken with prosciutto and provolone cheese. The name comes from the Italian phrase 'saltare in bocca', which means 'to jump in the mouth'. The dish can be traced back to Rome in the mid-19th century, where it was served in fine dining restaurants. Today, it is a popular dish served in many Italian restaurants around the world. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful prosciutto, and creamy cheese creates a rich and indulgent dish that is perfect for special occasions.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 200 C.
2.	Pound chicken breasts to 1/4 inch thickness. Place a slice of prosciutto and a slice of provolone cheese on the top of each breast. Roll up each breast and secure with toothpicks.
3.	In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Place chicken in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side.
4.	Once both sides of the chicken are browned, remove the chicken and put them on a baking sheet. Pour the white wine into the skillet and stir to deglaze the pan. Pour the wine over the chicken rolls.
5.	Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Chicken is a lean source of protein that is important for building and repairing muscles. It’s also high in vitamin B, which helps with energy production and immune system function. Prosciutto is a cured meat that is relatively high in sodium, so it should be consumed in moderation. However, it’s a good source of iron and protein. Provolone cheese is a good source of calcium and protein but is also high in saturated fat, so it should be consumed in moderation.
