I made this last week and I'm just getting around to posting it. This is such a yummy dish! It's from the September BA. The original recipe calls for veal, but I altered it to chicken. The recipe is also tweaked a little since I cut back on the amounts of olive oil and butter called for in the original recipe. This was so good that I was tempted to make it again this week (a real rarity for me), but then I decided that there were just too many other new things I wanted to try. I'm sure it will turn up again, though, sometime in the next month. If anyone makes it, let me know how you liked it!

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
6 ounces spaghetti
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup white cornmeal
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 (4-oz) chicken breast halves without skin -- pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
4 ounces prosciutto -- chopped and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1/3 cup Marsala wine
1/3 cup low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter -- cut into small pieces

Cook spaghetti in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer to large bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon oil. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, mix cornmeal, herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper in medium bowl. Coat chicken in cornmeal mixture.

Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, prosciutto, and sage. Sauté 2 minutes. Turn chicken over and sauté until cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Add Marsala and broth; boil until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Transfer chicken to plate. Add butter to skillet; whisk until melted. Season sauce to taste with salt and pepper. Return chicken to skillet to coat with sauce.

Divide pasta between 2 plates. Top with chicken and sauce, dividing equally.

Do you think port could be used instead of Marsala wine?

Wow! I actually have all the ingredients on hand! I think this may be tomorrow's dinner!

I'm usually pretty liberal about substituting different types of alcohol for another, so I would -- sure, why not. Although, I do think that the Marsala adds a distinct layer of sweetness (but not sweet like in a dessert) that really compliments everything else. I think the port might bring something different to the dish. So...to answer your question, I'd say go ahead and sub the port for Marsala if that's what you have on hand, but maybe think about buying Marsala for the next time.

There's also a good light version of this dish in the new WW cookbook, Dine Out Tonight. I've made it several times - easy and yummy!

We had this tonight and liked it; but I doubled the ingredients and felt like 8 ounces of prosciutto was just too much and I *like* salt. I didn't double the Marsala as I have run into trouble doing that with alcohols.

A keeper, with a few modifications; I think I would brown the coated chicken by itself and do the prosciutto/sage separately.

Tracey, this looks wonderful, and might go on the menu for dinner tomorrow when my in-laws come over! One thing gave me pause, though... I saw the nutritional analysis from MC, and I cannot figure out why it is so high in calories! Any thoughts???

I also recently had Chicken Saltimbocca; I used a recipe from Sara Moulton on the FoodTV network. It was very good and will be repeated. I imagine that the larger amount of calories in the previous recipe is from the spaghetti.

Chicken Saltimbocca

Recipe By :Sara Moulton, TV Network
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Poultry

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves -- (about 1 1/2 lb.)
14 fresh sage leaves -- (12-14)
4 thin slices prosciutto
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour -- (approx)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup marsala wine -- (or Port or apple juice)
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh sage -- chopped (I omitted)
black pepper

1. Pound chicken breasts between sheets of wax paper to a thckness of slightly over 1/4 inch. Put 3-4 leaves on the less smooth side of each pounded chicken breast. Cover leaves with prosciutto, and pound lightly to make them adhere. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

2. Divide oil between 2 skillets over medium-high heat. Dredge chicken in flour and shake off excess. Sauté chicken about 2 minutes per side or until color changes throughout. Remove chicken. Cover and keep warm.

3. Divide wine and marsala between skillets and boil, scraping up browned bits, 1 minute. Combine in 1 skillet. Add stock and boil until reduced by 1/3. Add chopped sage. Simmer 1 minute. Add pepper to taste; salt may not be needed. Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

Note: Good served with Honey-Mustard Sweet Potatoes and stir-fried bok choy or brussel sprouts.

Yield: 4 servings

There must be a bug in the program today. My previous answer didn't register! I'll try again.

Did you remove the chicken and keep it warm at any time or did you leave it the whole time?

I removed it and then put it back in the sauce when it had cooked down.

Thanks.

FYI, Beth's post is 8 years old as this thread just got bumped by a spammer. She may not see your request.
