Indulge in savory prosciutto and sage chicken over creamy polenta in a white wine sauce.
Ingredients:
  • 4 medium (about 220g each) single chicken breast fillets, tenderloins removed
  • 8 slices prosciutto
  • 16 fresh sage leaves
  • 50g butter
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) water
  • 500ml (2 cups) milk
  • 170g (1 cup) instant polenta (cornmeal)
  • 20g (1/4 cup) finely grated parmesan
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) thin cream
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) dry white wine
  • Finely chopped fresh continental parsley, to serve
  • Steamed broccolini, to serve
Instructions:
  • Halve each chicken fillet horizontally with a sharp knife to make 8 thin pieces. Sandwich 1 piece of chicken between plastic wrap and gently pound it to about 7mm thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
  • Lay out the chicken pieces, with the cut side facing up, on a tidy work surface. Add 1 slice of prosciutto and 2 sage leaves on top of each piece. Roll them up tightly to seal the filling and secure with a toothpick.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, melt half of the butter until foamy. Cook the chicken for 4 minutes on each side until golden and fully cooked. Remove to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Heat the water and milk in a large saucepan over medium heat until almost boiling. Slowly pour in the polenta while stirring with a wooden spoon until fully combined. Cook for 2 minutes until thickened and soft. Stir in parmesan, cream, and remaining butter until parmesan melts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Turn up the heat on the frying pan and pour in the wine. Stir and cook for 1 minute until the liquid reduces by half.
  • Plate the polenta, then layer on the chicken, generously drizzle with the wine sauce, and finish with a sprinkle of parsley. Pair with steamed broccolini on the side, if desired.
