Chicken Sorrentino (Pollo alla Sorrentina) is a popular menu item in many Italian restaurants. It consists of a boneless chicken breast topped with eggplant (we roasted ours), prosciutto, provolone cheese and a fresh marinara.
Valdostana -- The chicken is lightly pounded into an even thickness, dredged in flour, and sautéed in butter. White wine is stirred in to make a sauce, and the browned chicken breasts are covered with slices of prosciutto and cheese before serving.

Thanks for that, rip. I've also had veal milanese, or in Argentina a "milanesa" which is a breaded & flattened steak.

Marsala for me, thogh here it is often referred to as scallopine as well, and the sauce sometimes has cream added to the mushrooms.

saltimbocca was a personal favorite for many years but in my old age i find it too darn salty!
the variation i always had was a chicken breast stuffed w/ prosciutto and fontina
it's a bit like italian cordon bleu, if you think about it
