4 thin slices prosciutto
8 slices provolone

8 sage leaves or 1 T. sage (dried)
4 shaved pieces Romano cheese
2 T. olive oil

Pound chicken to 1/2″ thickness.
Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place parchment paper on work surface. Place 1/4 of the spinach leaves on
left side of parchment paper, leaving 1″ border.
Place chicken breast on top of spinach with slice of prosciutto,
2 slices provolone, 2 tomato slices, 2 sage leaves and 1 piece of Romano
cheese. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with
a pinch of salt. Fold the parchment over the chicken to form an
