I sauteed 6 small garlic cloves in the oil before frying the breasts. Removing them as they got translucent to golden brown. My 2 breasts were 16 ounces so I cut them and pounded making 5 pieces. 2 sage leaves per the 5 breasts and doubled up on the prosciutto. I didn`t used the wine. But did saute broccoli in the remaining oil/ butter and yummy bits in the pan. Thanks.Reply
