Ingredients

  • 6 (4 1/2 to 5 1/2-ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded thin
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 sage leaves
  • 3 ounces grated fontina cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, halved
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 (28-ounce) can whole San Marzano tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Special Equipment: toothpicks

Directions

Place the chicken cutlets on a clean work surface, narrow end facing you. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place one sage leaf crosswise on each of the pieces of chicken. Sprinkle each of the pieces of chicken with 1/2 ounce (about 2 tablespoons) of fontina cheese. Roll up the chicken and seal with one or two toothpicks.

Warm the olive oil and halved garlic clove in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken. Brown the chicken on all sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and remove and discard the garlic. Add the wine and simmer for 2 minutes while scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.

Meanwhile, combine the tomatoes and red pepper flakes in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the tomato mixture to the reduced wine in the pan. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors marry.

Return the chicken to the pan. Simmer the chicken in the tomato sauce for 10 minutes. Turn the chicken over and simmer until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pan. Season the tomato sauce with salt and pepper. Spoon the tomato sauce onto serving plates or a serving platter. Slice the chicken into 1-inch rounds. Remove the toothpicks. Place the chicken over the sauce and serve immediately.

    Simple and delicious! While i love fontina cheese, we had some mozarella that we needed to use up and it was great. Fontina wold have been even better.
    The sauce is delicious and we used the leftover sauce with shrimp the next day.
    BTW, if we cooked it for the full, recommended time it would have been overdone and dry.

    I'm not saying it was bad. mabey I didn't make it right. I had a hard time finding sage leaves and san marzanno tomatoes in oklahoma. I kida enjoyed it but the wife and kids didn't. I am so planting an herb garden this year if it is't too hot like last year. Can't win them all.I'll try again though.

    Very Yummy. But the chicken was a little on the dry side. Took a little longer than expected to get them nice and brown so I don't think they needed as long in the sauce. Other than that, it was very tasty.
