   • Place one piece of chicken, bone side up, between two pieces of plastic wrap.
   • Gently pound the chicken with a meat mallet until it forms a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick, working from the center to the edges.
   • Repeat this process with the remaining chicken breasts.

2. Assemble the Saltimbocca:

   • Lay a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese in the center of each pounded chicken breast, trimming to fit within 1/4 inch of the edges.
   • Top each chicken breast with slices of tomato and sprinkle lightly with dried sage.

3. Roll and Seal:

   • Fold in the sides of the chicken breasts, then roll them up jelly-roll style, pressing firmly to seal the edges.

4. Coat and Crumb:

   • In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and finely chopped parsley.
   • Dip each chicken roll in melted butter, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.

5. Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place the coated chicken rolls in a baking dish and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once cooked, transfer the chicken saltimbocca to a serving platter.
   • In the same pan used for baking, stir any remaining juices until smooth, then spoon the flavorful sauce over the chicken.

7. Garnish and Serve:

   • Garnish with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
   • Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of this classic Italian dish!
