Artisan's Chicken Saltimbocca

Tastemaker
June 28, 2025

You’ve never had Chicken Saltimbocca like this. (In fact, on the menu at Traverse City’s Artisan, “Saltimbocca” is even in quotes.) In place of the traditional prosciutto-wrapped cutlets, the chefs at Artisan have made flavor-packed chicken polpettes, aka tender and petite chicken meatballs. Ribbons of summer squash are mixed in with crispy slices of salty prosciutto, all sitting atop a base of creamy lemon risotto. The resulting dish ($38) feels summery and fresh, all with that familiar feeling of comfort food done in a brand-new way. Ask your server for a suggested wine pairing from their Wine Spectator award-winning list, or opt for a refreshing craft cocktail like the Delamar Spritz (Chandon Garden Sparkling, St.-Germain, kiwi, basil). Find Artisan inside the Delamar hotel at 615 East Front St. in Traverse City. artisantc.com
