Well, howdy folks! I’ve got a hankering to whip up something special today – a scrumptious treat, Chicken Roulade with Prosciutto and Sage. Now, before you start picturing some high-end chef prancing around a five-star kitchen, let me tell you, you’re barking up the wrong tree. It’s just yours truly, simple me, passionate about chicken and always raring to experiment with zesty, robust flavors.
Oh boy, where do we start? After a long day, there’s nothing like rolling up chicken with a fat slice of salty prosciutto. Oh, the aroma of sage! Don’t even get me started! That herb is the missing link that takes this dish from “tried it” to “can’t live without it”. Stuffing the chicken breasts – now there’s a feat that requires some dexterity, but by George, it’s worth every bumbling attempt.
Hang on, folks, this ride gets even better. After stuffing, it’s time to sear these lovely roulades. That sizzle, y’all! And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, a heavenly bath in white wine awaits our rolled delights. Ah, talk about living the high life!
Once you’ve let it simmer, you’re pretty much done. The challenge lies in letting it cool down a little before cutting into it. I mean, you could cut into it right away, but you’d be selling yourself short – the anticipation doubles the pleasure, trust me.
Tell you what, Chicken Roulade with Prosciutto and Sage is more than just cooking. It’s a whirlwind adventure, where sweet chicken meets salty prosciutto, spiced up with sage. Each bite sends your taste buds on a rollicking roller coaster ride. It’s absolute love, and I wouldn’t trade it for a hill of beans!
Oh well, onto the next culinary journey. So long, food warriors! Remember to cook with love and a dash of adventure.

– Gather all your ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 8 thin slices of prosciutto, 1 bunch fresh sage, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 cup dry white wine, salt, and pepper.
– Lay your chicken breasts on a clean surface, season internally with salt and pepper.
– Over each chicken breast lay 2 slices of prosciutto and a scattering of fresh sage leaves.
– Roll up the chicken breasts making sure the prosciutto and sage remain inside. Secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
– Heat a touch of oil in a large pan, add your rolled delights ensuring a good caramelization on all sides.
– Once all the roulades have turned a nice golden brown, deglaze the pan with the white wine. Be careful as the wine may sizzle up.
– Lower the heat, add in the minced garlic and let the roulades simmer in this bath of wine for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked.
– Remove from heat, let the roulades rest for a few minutes before cutting into them.
