- 4 chicken breasts
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- flour
- salt and pepper
- a few sage leaves
This won’t take you longer than 15 minutes. It is a classic Italian way to do chicken breasts.
Italians usually prefer the dark meat of the chicken and usually do something different with the breast.
One way is to cook it in a pan with olive oil and herbs. This is a last minute and tasty way to enjoy chicken. You can serve it with salad or with shredded raw cabbage which is in season now.
Instead of sage you can use rosemary instead if you prefer.
Directions:
Cut the breasts into fillets, then rub them with salt and pepper
Roll them into flour
In a pan pour 4 tbsp of olive oil and put it on a source of heat
When the oil is hot lay the fillets on the pan with the sage leaves on them
Cook for about 10-15 minutes turning them on both sides until golden.
I love them with raw shredded cabbage. Make a dressing with olive oil, a drop of vinegar, a pinch of salt and mix it all well in. So tasty.
I am submitting this recipe to Herbs on Saturday for Lavender and Lovage, hosted this month by Vanesther at Bangers and Mash .
Let's go back to how food used to be, made from wholesome, good ingredients. Let's embrace the slow food movement.
Taking time to cook yourself a decent meal should always come as a priority. After all we are what we eat! 
I personally prefer dark meat of the chicken as well, but this dish is definitely a great treat! I love sage along with many other herbs…
Buonissimo, facile da fare e tanto gustoso! Penso che mi hai dato l’idea per il pranzo di oggi! Ciao e buon fine settimana!
Looks simple and delicious! I am sure the sage leaves flavoured the chicken in an amazing way!
These chicken filets look super tender and delicious!
