Menu: Chicken Breast Saltimbocca with Couscous

Ingredients: (Serves 8)

8 boneless, skinless half Chicken breasts
8 thin Prosciutto slices
4 Shallots, minced
2 1/2 c. Chicken broth
Rock or Kosher salt
4 tbsp. chopped fresh Italian parsley or chives
16 Sage leaves
3 tbsp. Olive oil
3 Garlic cloves, minced
2 c. Couscous
Fresh ground Pepper


Directions:

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board, skin-side up. Arrange 2 sage leaves in the center of each breast. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each chicken breast, overlapping the ends and securing with a toothpick.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes, turning once. Transfer to a baking dish and cover to keep warm.

Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the couscous, cover, and remove from the heat. Let sit 5 minutes. Remove the cover and fluff the couscous with a fork. Taste. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to mix and taste again. Add more salt and pepper if needed.

Divide among 8 plates and top each with a chicken breast. Sprinkle with the herbs.
