4- (4 ounce) portions boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2-3 sage leaves, chopped

1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley

  2. Place each chicken piece between two pieces of wax paper. Pound chicken to 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. Sprinkle sage over the chicken. 
  4. Place 1 slice prosciutto on top of chicken.
