Ham-Wrapped Chicken With Balsamic Onions

This recipe is inspired by a traditional Italian recipe that wraps the chicken with prosciutto to add flavor and tenderness, but this version uses ham for a more kid-friendly taste.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
• 4  large fresh sage leaves
• 2  boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut horizontally into 2 pieces (1 lb)
• 4  thin slices  black forest ham or 4  prosciutto
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1⁄2 cup  sliced onion
• 1  cup chicken broth, 30% less sodium
• 2  tablespoons  balsamic vinegar (I prefer Aged Balsamic Vinegar of Modena)

Directions

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper, Set aside.
2. Place 1 sage leaf on each piece of chicken and wrap with a piece of ham. Press gently to adhere. Dredge meat in the seasoned flour, tapping off the excess.
3. In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and cook the meat until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Add onion to skillet and cook until golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in broth and cook until liquid is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar. Serve onion mixture over chicken.
