Method

Bat out the chicken breast between two sheets of cling film (using a rolling pin) until about half as thick.
Top with the Parma ham. Secure the sage leaf on top with a cocktail stick. Dust with the flour and season.
Pan-fry in olive oil on both sides until tender. Add the lemon juice and butter to the pan and give it a quick sizzle. Garnish with lemon zest.
