Classic saltimbocca is one of those restaurant dishes that feels almost impossible to recreate at home without triggering reflux — the traditional version leans heavily on white wine and acidic pan sauces that can spell trouble. This version swaps in white grape juice for the wine, delivering that same bright, slightly sweet depth in the pan sauce without the acidity that tends to aggravate symptoms. The result is a glossy, buttery sauce that clings to every bite and tastes genuinely indulgent. Thin-pounded chicken breasts cook quickly and evenly, so you get tender, juicy cutlets every single time, topped with crispy prosciutto and fragrant sage that perfume the whole kitchen. A light dusting of flour helps everything sear beautifully and gives the sauce something to hold onto as it reduces. It comes together in one skillet in well under 30 minutes, making it an elegant weeknight dinner that serves four without any fuss. Finish with a little chopped parsley and spoon that pan sauce generously — you'll want every drop.

Though high-fat foods can worsen reflux, this recipe has only a small amount of butter (~1 1/2 teaspoons per serving), making it likely fine for many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid butter, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Season the top side of each cutlet lightly with salt.
Lay 2 sage leaves flat on the seasoned side of each cutlet, then drape 1 slice of prosciutto over the top, pressing gently so it adheres. Dust the prosciutto side lightly with flour, then flip and dust the chicken side as well, shaking off any excess.
