Step 1
Place a chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thick, then repeat with the second breast.
Step 2
Lay 2 prosciutto slices and 4 sage leaves on each flattened breast, then fold in half and secure with toothpicks if needed.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then sear 3 minutes per side until the prosciutto crisps and chicken is cooked through.
Step 5
Pour the wine into the pan, add butter and squeeze half the lemon, then simmer 2 minutes until the sauce is glossy.
Step 6
Plate the chicken, spoon the pan sauce over top, and serve with lemon wedges.
