Braciola Braciole Di Pollo Chicken With Prosciutto Recipes

MY MAMA'S BRACIOLE

Steps:

• Season meat with salt and pepper. Top each slice of meat with a slice of prosciutto. In a medium bowl, moisten bread crumbs with milk. Add grated cheese, onion, parsley, arugula, salt and pepper to the crumbs and combine well. Spread a thin layer of stuffing down the center of each beef slice and roll tightly. Fasten rolled meat with plain toothpicks.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add oil to a hot pan along with garlic. Set meat into pan and brown on all sides, 6 minutes. Remove the meat from the pan. Add butter to the pan. Add mushrooms to the melted butter. Saute mushrooms 5 minutes. Add flour to the pan and cook 2 minutes. Whisk wine into the flour and mushrooms and scrape up pan drippings. Reduce wine 1 minute, then whisk in beef broth and tomato paste. Set meat back into sauce and reduce heat to medium low. Partially cover pan with a cover left ajar an inch. Simmer meat in sauce 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer beef rolls to a platter, removing toothpicks. Pour pan gravy down over the beef rolls and serve.

BEEF BRACIOLA

Steps:

• For the braciola: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the pine nuts in a small skillet over low heat until lightly toasted, about 3 minutes. Cool and chop.
• Combine the bread and 2 cups warm water in a medium bowl, then let soak until softened, about 5 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water, then add to a large bowl with the Parmesan, parsley, garlic, eggs, scallions and pine nuts and mix to combine well. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper.
• Set the flank steak on a cutting board. Use a knife to score the steak down the middle against the grain, cutting only halfway through its thickness. Working from the center out toward the edges, cut thin flaps from the score to the edge, like a gatefold. Pound with the flat side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Sprinkle both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
• Layer the prosciutto over the steak, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Layer the provolone over the prosciutto. Pat the stuffing in an even layer over the provolone. Roll the steak around the fillings like a jelly roll, from short side to short side. Tie closed at 2-inch intervals around the circumference with kitchen twine. Tie 1 more piece of twine lengthwise around the meat. Sprinkle the outside of the braciola with salt and pepper.
• For the sauce: Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot, brown the braciola on all sides, about 6 minutes total. Remove to a plate. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 1 minute. Pour in the red wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the wine until almost gone, then add the tomatoes, oregano and bay leaf. Add the braciola back to the pot with enough water to come halfway up the sides of the braciola (1 to 2 cups). Bring to a simmer, then cover and bake until fork tender, 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes.
• For serving: Remove the braciola to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the sauce to a simmer on the stove top. Stir in the parsley. Untie and slice the braciola into 6 thick slices on a slight bias. Spread about 1 1/2 cups sauce on a rimmed platter and arrange the braciola slices on top. Add the cooked pasta to the simmering sauce and toss to coat, adding up to 1/2 cup pasta cooking water if it seems dry. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, then toss and serve alongside the braciola.

BRACIOLE

Steps:

• Stir the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season mixture with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Lay the flank steak flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak to cover the top evenly. Starting at 1 short end, roll up the steak as for a jelly roll to enclose the filling completely. Using butcher's twine, tie the steak roll to secure. Sprinkle the braciole with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the braciole and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the marinara sauce. Cover partially with foil and bake until the meat is almost tender, turning the braciole and basting with the sauce every 30 minutes. After 1 hour, uncover and continue baking until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes longer. The total cooking time should be about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the braciole from the sauce. Using a large sharp knife, cut the braciole crosswise and diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer the slices to plates. Spoon the sauce over and serve.
• In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
• Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
• If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.

BRACIOLA STEAKS STUFFED WITH CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• If the braciola is more than about 1/4-inch thick, place the slices between sheets of wax paper and gently pound them. Pair off the braciola slices that are closest in size and shape. Sprinkle the meat lightly with salt and pepper and place a slice of cheese and a slice of prosciutto between each pair, folding them over if necessary so that they do not protrude beyond the edges of the braciola. Reserve a bit of the basil for garnish and place the remainder between the braciola slices.
• Place the beaten eggs in a wide, flat bowl and place the flour and bread crumbs on separate plates. Mix the bread crumbs with the thyme and cayenne. Dip the braciola in the flour, coating it on all sides and being careful that the pieces do not come apart. Shake off any excess flour and coat the braciola in egg and then in bread crumbs, making sure that the coating seals the edges of the meat.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the braciola in a single layer, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the braciola. Cook, turning once, until nicely browned, about 3 minutes for each side. Drain the braciola briefly on paper towels, place on a serving dish, garnish with the reserved basil and serve.

INVOLTINI DI POLLO (STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS)

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of waxed paper.
• Using a meat mallet or the dull side of a cleaver blade, press down and then push out from the center of each breast half, flattening it out evenly. Do not overpound or the breasts will break apart.
• To make the stuffing: soak the bread in the stock until it is softened, two to three minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a skillet melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the green onions and sautee, until softened but not browned, about three minutes. Place the green onions in a mixing bowl.
• Squeeze the excess stock from the bread; discard the stock.
• Add the bread to the bowl, along with the sage, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Taste for seasoning.
• Place a slice of ham on each of the flattened chicken breast halves.
• Divide the bread stuffing between the two breasts, spreading it over the ham.
• Roll up each breast from a narrow end; the opposite end should remain uncovered and slightly overlap the roll.
• Tuck in any stuffing that may have leaked out of the ends; the ham slice will prevent stuffing from leaking out of the center of the chicken roll.
• Using cotton kitchen string, tie the rolls closed in the same fashion that a roast is laced. Toothpicks can be used to fasten the ends securely.
• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, dredge the chicken rolls in the flour and set aside.
• When the skillet is hot enough to make the chicken rolls sizzle, add them.
• Brown on all sides for no longer than five minutes. Prolonged sauteing will toughen the delicate breast meat. To turn the rolls, gently slide a spatula under them to prevent rupturing.
• Transfer the sauteed breast rolls to a casserole just large enough to accommodate them, but with enough room to keep them from touching.
• Set the skillet aside for later deglazing.
• Pour the stock over the breasts, cover tightly, and place in the preheated oven.
• Bake until the breasts are just cooked through but still juicy, 20 to 25 minutes (it took me 40 minutes for the chicken to be fully cooked).
• Remove from the oven, and transfer the rolls to a cutting board, reserving the liquid in the casserole.
• Remove the string and toothpicks and let stand for five to ten minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the pan drippings that remain in the skillet in which the breasts were sauteed.
• Add 1/2 cup of the stock from the casserole and bring to a simmer, using a wooden spoon to dislodge any bits stuck to the pan bottom.
• Add the wine and continue to simmer to evaporate the alcohol.
• Taste for salt.
• Cut each of the stuffed breasts crosswise into five or six slices and arrange on a serving platter. Pour the hot pan juices over them.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO
