The combination of tender chicken, flavorful prosciutto, and Marsala sauce creates an explosion of flavors that will win everyone over. I often prepare it when I have guests, because it's simple to make and always makes a great impression! Fresh sage adds an aromatic touch that blends very well with the rest of the ingredients.

20 g Butter
5 foglia Sage leaves
1 pinch Salt

Preparation (6 steps)

Chicken preparation

Take a whole chicken breast and divide it into two parts, trying to eliminate as much of the fat and central small bones as possible. Wrap each piece of chicken with the slices of cured ham.

Flavoring the butter

Thermomix® Setting

3 min/248°F/Speed 1 120

Put a clove of garlic in its skin in the mixing bowl. Add 20 g of butter and some sage leaves. Set 3 Min./120°C/Speed 1 to flavor the butter.

Browning the chicken

Remove the garlic from the mixing bowl. In a non-stick pan, brown the two pieces of chicken wrapped in prosciutto over medium-high heat until golden brown on all sides. This step is not performed in the Thermomix to ensure optimal browning.

Deglazing with Marsala

Thermomix® Setting

5 min/Varoma/Speed 1 Varoma

Transfer the browned chicken to the mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and a grind of pepper. Deglaze with 100 ml of Marsala. Set 5 Min./Varoma/Speed 1 without measuring cup to evaporate the alcoholic part.
