If you shy away from saltimbocca because you don't eat veal, then do yourself a favor and try this twist on the classic Roman dish, which uses chicken in place of beef. The sage and prosciutto fulfill the recipe's promise to "jump in the mouth."
Dredging the chicken in flour creates a delicate, velvety texture, and a wine broth keeps the meat from being too dry.

Saltimbocca
Popular in Italy and especially Rome, saltimbocca is a dish made traditionally with veal cutlets but sometimes with chicken or pork. The meat is usually pounded thin and wrapped in or topped by prosciutto and sage leaves.
Often cooked in white wine and butter or oil, the veal is then seasoned with its own sauce and sometimes capers.
