This is one of my favorite meals my mom used to make. Traditionally, it's made with veal, but I created my own version with chicken since it's a little easier to find. Kristin Kossak, Bozeman, Montana
Ingredients:
2 medium onions, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups uncooked long grain rice
4 cups chicken broth
8 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
4 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham, halved
16 fresh sage leaves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, saute onions in butter until tender. Add rice and stir to coat. Stir in broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Fluff with a fork.
2. Meanwhile, cut a slit lengthwise through the thickest part of each chicken breast; fill with prosciutto and two sage leaves. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown chicken in oil in batches for 1-2 minutes on each side; return all to the pan. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 8-10 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°. Remove and keep warm.
4. Add wine to the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2-3 minutes or until slightly reduced. Stir in the sour cream, sugar and minced sage; heat through (do not boil). Serve with chicken and rice. Yield: 8 servings.
