Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sprinkle the breast halves with salt and pepper.

  2. Step 2

    Prick the sausages all over with the tines of a two-pronged fork.

  3. Step 3

    Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet and add the breast pieces, skin side down. Cut each sausage in half crosswise and add the pieces to the skillet. Cook the chicken pieces 5 minutes and turn. As the chicken cooks, turn the sausage pieces often. Continue cooking about 2 minutes, then scatter the mushrooms over all. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes longer. Carefully pour off the fat from the skillet, discard fat.

  4. Step 4

    Sprinkle the prosciutto, onion and garlic over all and stir to blend. Add the bay leaf, thyme and saffron. Stir in the wine, tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil, cover closely and cook about 5 minutes. Add the clams and olives, cover and continue cooking until the clams open, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf and serve the dish with rice.
