Today marks 2 years since my father passed away. I wanted to honor him in his very favorite way: with home cooked Italian food.

Saltimbocca was probably his VERY favorite dish to make for people. He had a whole routine; A somewhat complex recipe that lived partially scribbled on a random piece of paper, that we have yet to find, and partially just in his brain. He always served his Saltimbocca with herby potato coins which is the next recipe of his that I hope to master.

Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to find his recipe anywhere for this saltimbocca dish so my re-make of it is a best guess based on taste and a bit of research.

While my dad always made his saltimbocca with pork (which is the more traditional way to serve it), I decided to make my own version of it with chicken. Truthfully, I don’t have a lot of experience cooking pork AND I thought chicken would be a little more approachable for people looking for an easy dinner recipe.

Plus, I’m just that kid who always HAS to do something different than what my parents tell me :)

If you aren’t familiar with Saltimbocca, the word literally means “jump in the mouth” in Italian which SO accurately describes how DELICIOUS this dish is. I swear, this is one of the BEST recipes on my blog. Admittedly, it’s NOT the prettiest dish in the world. I had a really hard time trying to take pretty photos of this. BUT it’s good. SO so good.
