EAT THIS! Grilled Chicken Saltimbocca Sandwich w/ Quick Fire roasted red Pepper Soup

 I have been craving Saltimbocca.  Saltimbocca is a mediterainian dish..typically made with pulverized veal (scallopini style), prosciutto, marsala, sage and served over pasta in a thick butter wine sauce.. Now besides the fact that veal isn't at it's cheapest right now...the weather is also amazing and beautiful and sunny!! So I really don't want a  heavy hot dish, I just want the flavors... I was playing around with the ingredients a few years ago and came up with a "Grilled Chicken Saltimbocca Sandwich" I  use ciabatta bread brushed with a sage butter , topped with artichokes and rosemary ham with a marsala mayo!!!
 This is easy unexpected and inexpensive!!! You can literally feed 6 people for just over 10 bucks!!! Have your friends bring over a nice bottle of white wine and maybe some italian flavored chips (lays makes a nice Tuscany inspired potato chip)then fire up the grill and you are good to go!!This would also pair well with a firey roasted red pepper soup.(I have also included that recipe as well)
The word Saltimbocca translates to "to jump in the mouth" I hope my original play on the dish has the same effect!
