Chicken Scallopine Saltimbocca
The word saltimbocca, means “jumps in your mouth” in Italian. The combination of flavors, including a French flare added to an Italian dish, makes for a memorable meal. Serve with zucchini noodles, gluten-free pasta or homemade fresh pasta so that you can soak up every last drop of the delicious sauce. Substitute veal scaloppine, to add another level of refinement. This recipe serves 4. Enjoy!
