Chicken Scallopine with Sage and Fontina Cheese​

Ingredients​

• 6 chicken cutlets (4 1/2 to 5 1/2 ounces each), 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

Directions​

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Lay the chicken cutlets on a clean work surface with the narrow end facing you.
   • Season with salt and pepper.
   • Place a sage leaf crosswise on each piece of chicken.
   • Sprinkle each piece with 1/2 ounce (about 2 tablespoons) of fontina cheese.
   • Roll up the chicken and secure with one or two toothpicks.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat the olive oil and halved garlic clove in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
   • Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 3 minutes per side.
   • Remove the chicken from the pan and discard the garlic.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
   • Add the wine to the skillet and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
   • Blend the tomatoes and red pepper flakes in a blender until smooth.
   • Add the tomato mixture to the skillet with the reduced wine. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
4. Simmer the Chicken:
   • Return the chicken to the pan and simmer in the tomato sauce for 10 minutes.
   • Turn the chicken over and simmer for another 5 to 7 minutes until cooked through.
   • Remove the chicken from the pan.
5. Finish and Serve:
   • Season the tomato sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
   • Spoon the tomato sauce onto serving plates or a platter.
   • Slice the chicken into 1-inch rounds and remove the toothpicks.
   • Place the chicken over the sauce and serve immediately.
