  1. I sauteed 6 small garlic cloves in the oil before frying the breasts. Removing them as they got translucent to golden brown. My 2 breasts were 16 ounces so I cut them and pounded making 5 pieces. 2 sage leaves per the 5 breasts and doubled up on the prosciutto. I didn`t used the wine. But did saute broccoli in the remaining oil/ butter and yummy bits in the pan. Thanks.

I live in NJ and work for a fun candy company. I love to cook and I often whip things up in my head on the way home from work. I try to keep it healthy, using lower fat/calorie alternatives without sacrificing on taste. I'd have to say my favorite cookbook is the one I've compiled myself with recipes from various magazines, family/friends, and this wonderful website!! In my free time I love to play golf, eat, drink and be merry!
