Can I make chicken saltimbocca without a sous vide machine?

Yes. Sear the wrapped chicken in butter over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until the prosciutto crisps and chicken reaches 165°F internally, then finish the lemon wine sauce in the same pan.

How long do I sous vide chicken saltimbocca?

Cook boneless, skinless chicken breasts at 63°C (145°F) for 45-60 minutes until tender, then sear briefly in butter to crisp the prosciutto.

What temperature should the chicken reach?

For food safety, chicken must reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Sous vide at 63°C brings it near this threshold; finish with a brief sear to reach safe temperature.

Can I prep this ahead?

Yes. Wrap the chicken with prosciutto and sage up to 4 hours ahead, refrigerate, then cook when ready. The sauce can be made while the chicken cooks.

What if I don't have fresh sage?

Fresh sage is traditional and delivers the signature flavor; dried sage is too strong. Substitute fresh basil or thyme if sage is unavailable, though the dish will taste different.

Instructions

1
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and top each chicken breast with two fresh sage leaves.
2
Wrap each breast with two pieces of thinly sliced prosciutto so that they are completely covered. Vacuum seal the chicken breasts, place in a Suvie pan, cover with water and place in the bottom zone of Suvie.
3
Place asparagus in a second Suvie pan and place in the top zone of Suvie. Input settings and cook now or schedule.
4
Set bottom zone: Sous Vide at 150°F for 1 hour. Set top zone: Sous Vide at 150°F for 1 hour.

Place 4 oz farro in the Suvie starch strainer set within the Suvie pasta pot. Place pot in the Suvie Starch Cooker, ensuring pot is centered on the hot plate. Close door, input settings, and cook now or schedule.

Set Suvie Starch Cooker to Grains, Farro, 35 minutes.

After cooking, remove the chicken from the packaging. Wipe the pan dry and return the chicken to the pan. Season the asparagus with 1 tbsp olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste; return pan to Suvie. Broil both pans until browned, about 7-10 minutes.
8
Drain farro and transfer to a bowl with ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese, stirring to combine.

While the chicken and asparagus broil, prepare the sauce. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the butter begins to get frothy add the flour and whisk to combine. Cook for 1 minute stirring frequently until it looks slightly brown and smells nutty. Add the white wine and cook for 30 seconds until reduced, then stir in the chicken stock and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper and simmer on low for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Cover to keep warm.

To serve, divide the farro between two plates and serve with the chicken and asparagus. Pour the sauce over the chicken.
