    1 Sprinkle chicken with rosemary. Wrap prosciutto around chicken. Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over high heat. Gently fry the sage for 1 minute, or until crisp. Place on a paper towel and set aside. Add chicken to the pan and cook for 3–4 minutes each side.

    2 Meanwhile, combine tomato, baby rocket, beans and vinegar in a small bowl. Then boil, steam or microwave asparagus until tender.

    3 Add stock and juice to pan with the chicken and boil for 2 minutes, or until sauce reduces by half and chicken is cooked through. Serve chicken with lemon sauce, salad and asparagus, and garnish with crispy sage leaves.
