Chicken Saltimbocca Bites

Directions

1. 1To make pesto, pulse all ingredients in a food processor until combined. It should be a rough texture. Add olive oil until it gets to the consistency you desire. It's best to make this an hour before so the flavors can blend while you work on the bites.
2. 2Lay out prosciutto strips on a clean surface. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise.
3. 3Lay fresh sage leaves on the chicken breast strips in a line. Press down on them so they stick to the chicken.
4. 4Sprinkle the prosciutto strips with a tiny amount of all-purpose flour.
5. 5Set the breast at one end of a prosciutto strip and roll it up tightly in the prosciutto. Try to roll the chicken at a slight angle so the entire breast gets wrapped in the prosciutto.
6. 6Repeat with all the breasts and prosciutto strips.
7. 7Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the as many strips as will fit without cramming the pan. Be sure to add the strips seam-side down.
8. 8Cook strips over medium heat until they are cooked through and very crispy on the outside, about 15-20 minutes. Turn them every few minutes so they cook evenly. Be gentle with them and try to avoid tearing the prosciutto.
9. 9Remove strips and let rest for a few minutes. Then slice each piece into 4-5 bites with a sharp carving knife.
10. 10Serve bites over pesto either as an appetizer or a meal.
