1.Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place 2 sage leaves on each
breast. Top with a slice of prosciutto, trimming it to fit. Press the
prosciutto to help it adhere to the chicken. Dust the chicken with
flour, shaking off the excess.
2.Heat a large skillet. Add the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter.
Add 2 of the breasts, prosciutto side up, and cook over high heat until
nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook just
until the prosciutto begins to shrink, about 1 minute. Transfer the
chicken to a plate; repeat with the remaining chicken. Pour off any fat
and wipe out the skillet.
3.Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Add the wine and cook over
high heat until reduced by half, 2 minutes. Add the stock and bring to
a boil. Cook until reduced by half, 3 minutes.
4.Return the chicken to the skillet, prosciutto side up, and simmer
over moderate heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes;
season with salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to plates, pour the
sauce on top and serve.
