Chicken Scaloppine With Sage and Fontina Cheese is an Italian-inspired dish that combines tender chicken cutlets with the bold flavors of sage and melty Fontina cheese. The chicken is pounded thin and stuffed with sage and cheese, then cooked until crispy and golden brown. The tomato and wine sauce is the perfect accompaniment to this dish, adding a touch of acidity and sweetness to balance out the savory flavors of chicken, sage, and cheese. This dish is great for a date night at home or for impressing guests at a dinner party.

Instructions
