Ingredients for Chicken Scallops with Mushrooms and Sage
- 4 chicken breasts
- 7 oz porcini mushrooms
- 8 leaves sage
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 2.12 oz flour
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 pinches salt

Preparation of Chicken Scallops with Mushrooms and Sage
Clean the porcini mushrooms with a damp cloth and cut them into cubes or slices.
In a pan, brown the garlic clove with the olive oil and add the mushrooms. Season with two pinches of salt, one of pepper, and half of the sage leaves. Cook over low heat for about ten minutes.
Transfer the mushrooms to a dish (remember to remove the garlic).
Pour the flour onto a plate and coat the chicken slices. Place them in the same cooking base as the mushrooms, browning them well on both sides. Add two pinches of salt and deglaze with the white wine.
Now, add the porcini and continue cooking for 5 minutes, still over low heat.
Finish the dish with the remaining sage leaves and serve hot.
