Chicken Saltimbocca
- 1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 6 chicken cutlets (3 ounces each), pounded to flatten evenly
- 6 paper-thin slices of prosciutto
- 1/4 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 (14-ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- Squeeze the frozen spinach to remove the excess water.
- In a small bowl, toss the spinach with 1 tablespoon of the oil to coat.
- Season with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
- Place the chicken cutlets flat on a work surface.
- Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and 3/4 teaspoon of pepper.
- Lay 1 slice of prosciutto atop each chicken cutlet.
- Arrange an even layer of spinach atop the prosciutto and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over each.
- Beginning at the short tapered end, roll up each cutlet as for a jelly roll and secure with a toothpick.
- In a large, heavy skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil over a high flame.
- Add the chicken rolls and cook just until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.
- Add the broth and lemon juice and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 4 minutes.
- Using tongs, transfer the chicken to 6 plates and set aside.
- Increase the heat to high and cook the sauce until it is reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle the sauce over the chicken, and serve.
