âI created this recipe to capture the flavors of saltimbocca, but without all the fat and sodium. With the addition of beans, it becomes a one-dish meal. We really enjoy it.â Virginia Anthony â Jacksonville, Florida Ingredients:
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided |
8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (2 pounds) |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms |
2 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham |
1/2 cup chopped shallots |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth |
1/3 cup half-and-half cream |
3 tablespoons fresh sage or 3 teaspoons dried sage leaves, divided |
1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained, divided |
