Prosciutto Chicken Rolls Recipes

CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND PROSCIUTTO ROLLS

Steps:

• Sit your chicken breast on a chopping board and slice it all the way through the middle (like you are filleting a fish).
• You should have two almost identical top and bottom pieces of chicken.
• Repeat for the other breast; set aside.
• Heat 1 Tbsp oil in pan and add onion, fry until almost transparent and then add garlic. Stir occasionally.
• Cook for 2 minutes then add sliced mushrooms.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Put your chicken breast between two freezer bags and pound it so that it is quite thin then cut it half along the long edge.
• Ok you should now have four chicken pieces- spread each with cream cheese then divided the onion/mushroom mixture between them (spread the cream cheese and the mushroom all over the chicken).
• Roll the chicken up tightly then roll a piece of prosciutto around it and secure with a toothpick, repeat.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in pan and over medium/high heat seal the chicken parcels on all sides.
• Lower the heat and continue cooking until chicken is cooked through (about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your breast-- lol).
• Either serve as is with your favorite sauce or cut into slices to serve as nibbles or entrée.

CHICKEN & PROSCIUTTO ROLL UPS

Steps:

• For sauce, in a small bowl combine wine and the 2 tsp fresh or 1/2 tsp dried thyme.
• Set aside.
• Rinse chicken; pat dry.
• Place chicken piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap.
• Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound the chicken lightly into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.
• Remove plastic wrap.
• Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Place a slice of prosciutto and one-fourth of the cheese on each chicken piece.
• Arrange one-fourth of the roasted peppers on cheese near bottom edge of chicken.
• Starting from the bottom edge, roll up jelly roll style; secure with toothpicks.
• Grill chicken directly over medium heat for 15 to 17 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
• Turn to cook evenly and brush with sauce.
• If desired, garnish with fresh thyme.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle the garlic and sage on the chicken cutlets; season with salt and pepper. Wrap 2 or 3 slices prosciutto around each cutlet.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until the prosciutto is golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, whisk half of the lemon juice, the mustard, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Add the lettuce and tomatoes; toss to coat.
• Add the chicken broth and the remaining lemon juice to the skillet; cook over medium heat until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter and cook, stirring with a rubber spatula, until the butter melts and the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the salad. Drizzle with the pan sauce.
