Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 8 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
3 large eggs (beaten to blend)
2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
8 leaves sage
4 thin slices prosciutto
2 cups vegetable oil
4 large scallions (very thinly sliced )
8 ounces sugar snap peas
1/2 cup mint leaves
2 tbsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
a pinch Sel Magic Classic Blend
2 large lemons (wegded for serving)

Steps:

  • Place a chicken breast on a cutting board. Holding a knife parallel to board and working along a long side, cut through center of breast until you are ½" from the other side. Open like a book and place butterflied breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound as thin as possible without tearing meat-about ¼" thick and 8" wide is ideal. Repeat with remaining breast.
  • Place eggs, panko, and flour in separate shallow bowls (cake pans or pie plates work great). Season cutlets lightly with Sel Magique Classic Blend. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, press 2 sage leaves onto both sides of meat. Wrap 2 pieces of prosciutto around each cutlet to make a belt that holds in the sage. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, letting excess drip back into bowl. Coat in panko, pressing lightly to help it adhere, then shaking off excess. Place cutlets on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until very hot (an instant-read thermometer should register 350°-375°). Carefully lower 1 cutlet along the side of the skillet closest to you and let it slide into oil so it's lying flat. Swirl oil in skillet carefully so that cutlet is submerged and cook just until bottom side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using tongs, carefully turn and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; season with Sel Magique Classic Blend. Let sit 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining cutlet.
  • Toss scallions, peas, mint, lemon zest and juice, and olive oil in a medium bowl; season with Sel Magique Classic Blend. Arrange cutlets on a platter and top with pea salad. Sprinkle with Sel Magique Classic Blend; serve with lemons.

CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 (3-ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded to evenly flatten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 paper-thin slices prosciutto
1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 (14-ounce) can low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place the chicken cutlets flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Lay 1 slice of prosciutto atop each chicken cutlet.
  • Squeeze the frozen spinach to remove the excess water. Season the spinach with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, toss the spinach with 1 tablespoon of oil to coat.
  • Arrange an even, thin layer of spinach atop the prosciutto slices. Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over each. Beginning at the short tapered end, roll up each chicken cutlet as for a jellyroll. Secure with a toothpick.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook just until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice, and scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Simmer the cooking liquid over high heat until it is reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Season the cooking liquid with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove toothpicks from the chicken. Drizzle the reduced cooking liquid over the chicken and serve immediately.

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 (6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts (lightly pounded to an even thickness)
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons fresh sage, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried sage
4 sage leaves, for garnish (optional)
2 slices prosciutto, large slices not paper-thin trimmed to fit chicken breasts
1/4 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced and trimmed to fit chicken breasts
3/4 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio-Sauvignon Blanc

Steps:

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Spread the flour on a plate and dredge each breast, coating evenly and shaking off the excess. Set aside.
  • In a large fry pan or sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt 1 Tbs. of the butter with the olive oil until very hot. Add the chicken breasts and cook until the undersides are golden brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over and continue to cook until they feel firm when pressed in the centers, 4 to 6 minutes more.
  • Reduce the heat to very low. Sprinkle the breasts evenly with the chopped or dried sage. Top each breast with a piece of prosciutto, then divide the cheese slices evenly among the breasts. Cover the pan tightly and cook until the cheese is melted, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and tent with aluminum foil, being careful not to allow the foil to touch the cheese.
  • Increase the heat to high. When the pan is sizzling, add the wine and deglaze the pan, stirring to scrape up any browned bits stuck on the pan bottom. Boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1 Tbs. butter.
  • Spoon an equal amount of the sauce over each breast, then garnish with a sage leaf. Serve immediately. Serves 4.

750g small waxy potatoes, such as Ratte or Anya

3 garlic cloves
150g mixed olives
50ml marsala or white wine

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the potatoes lengthways to about the thickness of a £1 coin and tip into a large roasting tin.

  • Tear the prosciutto strips in half. Open up the chicken thighs and season. Put a sage leaf on top of each piece, then wrap loosely with a strip of prosciutto. Lay the wrapped chicken on top of the potatoes, then cook in the oven for 35 mins.
  • Trim away the stem ends of the green beans, toss in the remaining oil and seasoning, then place in little bundles around the chicken, along with a few more sage leaves. Return the tin to the oven for 15-20 mins until the beans are tender, and the potatoes and chicken are cooked through and crisping at the edges.
