Chicken Saltimbocca

I have been wanting to try this chicken saltimbocca for quite some time , but i kept postponing it because i thought it’d be too hard to roll a thin chicken breast into a jelly roll style , i would think it’d be easily crumbled and stuff . Well , it’s actually not as hard as i thought , but a little messy though .. my stove was pretty messy from the grease splattered here and there . The result was really worth it . While i was cooking this , my 7 years old son , asked me ” Mom , what are you cooking ? ” I answered ” Chicken Saltimbocca ” Mind you this was my very first time making chicken saltimbocca .. and then this is his answer .. ” Hmm .. that sounds good “ I just had to laugh .. it’s something that none of us ever had before and it was my first time trying it .. yet he can say .. sounds good LOL .. my silly boy ..
