Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6). Butterfly each chicken breast and open out flat, then season and dust lightly in the plain flour.

Heat the butter and olive oil in a large oven-proof frying pan over a medium-high heat and brown the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- 3
Pour in the white wine, then top each chicken breast with a slice of parma ham, a scattering of sage leaves and a layer of fontina.

Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through with no pink remaining and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
