CHICKEN ROULADES WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• There are several ways that these roulades may be cooked. They may be broiled, charcoal-grilled or cooked in a skillet with a little oil. Preheat a broiler or charcoal grill or have a skillet ready.
• Place the breast halves on a flat surface and cut off enough of the end pieces to make five ounces. Put the end pieces into the container of a food processor or electric blender and add the shrimp, coriander leaves and salt. Blend until it has the consistency of hamburger meat.
• Meanwhile, put the salt pork slices in a small skillet and cook, turning the pieces often, until they are well browned and slightly crisp. Remove the slices from the skillet, and when they are cool enough to handle, cut them lengthwise into 32 thin, julienne strips.
• Put the chicken breast halves on a flat surface and cut them on the diagonal into approximately 16 thin slices. Pound each slice until it is quite thin and almost transparent. Spoon an equal amount of the ground shrimp-and-chicken mixture into the center of each slice. Smear this filling evenly over each piece. Stack two pieces each of the salt pork, carrot, green pepper and green onion over the center of the filling. Roll each slice over neatly and tightly, like small sausages, to enclose the filling.
• Arrange four of the filled chicken pieces close together and run two skewers parallel and crosswise through the centers to hold the groupings of four together. Brush each grouping on all sides with a little oil.
• To prepare the sauce, grind together the coriander seeds, caraway seeds and garlic, preferably in a mortar and pestle or in a small spice mill or grinder.
• Heat one tablespoon of oil in a small skillet and add the sliced shallots. Cook briefly, stirring, and add the ground spice mixture. Add the soy sauce, chicken broth and brown sugar and bring to the boil. Let simmer about five minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook the skewered chicken roulades as desired - under the broiler, on a grill or in a skillet. Cook about four or five minutes or less on one side. Turn the roulades and cook about four or five minutes on the second side. Spoon the sauce over the roulades and serve.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place 4 of the chicken breast halves, skinned side down, on a flat surface. Using a sharp knife, slice halfway through the meatiest portion of each breast half. Open up the breast, butterfly-style, and pound lightly with a mallet without breaking the tissues. On one half of the underside of the breast there is a detachable piece of meat known as the fillet. Remove and pound each of these lightly to flatten. Set aside.
• Cut the remaining chicken breast half into 1-inch cubes. Put the cubes in the container of a food processor or electric blender and start blending while adding the cream, Tabasco sauce, salt and pepper. Blend thoroughly. There should be about 1/2 cup. Arrange 2 of the shrimp close together in the center of each flattened chicken breast half. Spoon an equal portion of the blended mixture over the shrimp. Cover with flattened fillets. Fold the outer portions of each chicken breast half over the filling to enclose it compactly.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the chicken in one layer. Add the onion and shallots and cook until wilted.
• Slice off the core end of the tomato and cut the tomato into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Add these to the skillet. Add the thyme, basil and wine. Arrange the stuffed breast halves over the mixture and bring to the boil. Cover closely and cook 10 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken breasts to a warm serving dish. Cook the sauce down over high heat about 2 minutes.
• Swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and add the parsley. Stir. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and serve hot.

SPANISH STUFFED CHICKEN WITH SHRIMP AND CHORIZO

Steps:

• Chicken -- Remove the refrigerator and let it come somewhat to room temperature They are much easier to pound out when NOT ice cold. I prefer to put mine in a large plastic bag - press all the air out and seal - then pound away. I use a meat mallet, but a heavy pan, rolling pin or pretty much anything heavy will work. I pound as thin as possible without breaking the chicken up or making any holes in the breast. Salt and pepper well and then just set to the side as you make the filling.
• Chorizo -- In a large saute pan (I use a heavy oven proof pan that way everything is cooked in one pan) If you don't have one, use what you have on hand. Add 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and sauté the chorizo on medium heat until golden brown 4-5 minutes. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain any excess grease. Pour out the grease from the pan.
• Shrimp -- Add to the same pan, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and put back on medium heat. Add the shrimp and onion and saute just a couple of minutes until the shrimp are just beginning to turn pink - It won't take long. NOTE: You can use any size shrimp, as long as you end up with 1 cup diced. As soon as they start to turn pink, remove from the heat and add the olives, parsley, bread crumbs, salt (go easy, the olives are salty) and pepper. Mix well and remove to a small bowl so the shrimp do not continue to cook. Add the chorizo to the shrimp mixture and stir well. Add a drizzle of olive oil if necessary to hold the dressing together.
• Sauce -- In the same pan, add the shallots and white wine to deglaze the pan and cook just a minute if that. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth and parsley. Remove from the heat.
• Stuffing -- Lay out the chicken breasts and top with the shrimp and chorizo filling. Roll up the chicken and secure with a toothpick. The filling will fill 4-5 breasts depending on the size. If there is any leftover, just freeze it for another time.
• Bake -- Heat the oven to 350, middle shelf. If using a oven proof saute pan, add the chicken seam side down right in the pan with the sauce. Use a spoon and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. If using a casserole dish, add the chicken seam side down and pour the tomato sauce over the top.
• Cover with foil and bake for 30-40 minutes (the thickness of the chicken and the type of pan can affect cooking times). The last 10 minutes, uncover and top each chicken roll with cheese (I love manchego, but Monterey Jack will work just fine) and cook until bubbly and the cheese is melted.
• Serve -- I love polenta with this, white rice is also good. No need to flavor other than salt and pepper because of the tomato sauce. But I do like to garnish with some chopped scallions.
