Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon chili flake
28 oz crushed tomato, 1 can
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
¼ cup fresh basil, chiffonade, plus more for garnish
4 chicken breasts
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste
8 slices ham, halved
8 slices mozzarella cheese, halved
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs, beaten
oil, for frying
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, 1 ball, sliced

Steps:

  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil, garlic, and chile flakes. Stir, cooking until the garlic is lightly golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the crushed tomatoes and season with salt, black pepper, and basil. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
  • On a clean work surface, butterfly the chicken breasts.
  • Cover with plastic wrap, and use a rolling pin or meat mallet to pound out the chicken to ¼-inch (6-mm) thick.
  • Season each side with salt and black pepper.
  • With the cut side of the chicken facing up, arrange a flat layer of 4 half slices of ham, followed by 4 half slices of mozzarella.
  • Roll toward you, starting the with the thickest part of the chicken. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Place the panko in a wide, shallow bowl, and add the Parmesan cheese and oregano. Stir to incorporate. Prepare two more wide bowls with the flour and the beaten egg.
  • Unwrap the chicken and dredge in the flour, eggs, then bread crumbs.
  • Heat the oil in a large pot until it reaches 325°F (170°C). Add the chicken, two rolls at a time, and cook about 5 minutes per side or until the outside is an even golden brown. If a good color is achieved and the chicken's center is still not 165°F (74°C), you can finish cooking the chicken in an oven set to 325°F (170°C) until that temperature is reached.
  • Place the fried chicken in an ovenproof dish. Spoon the tomato sauce over the top, saving some for serving.
  • Arrange fresh mozzarella slices on top.
  • Broil on the center rack for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and has small brown bubbles.
  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve with the reserved tomato sauce alongside.

Stuffed Chicken Breast Wrapped in Parma Ham image

Succulent chicken breast stuffed with apple and leek infused sausage meat baked in a parcel of deep flavoured and slightly savoury crispy Parma ham. Delicious served with new potatoes, melted butter and steamed broccoli.

Provided by Paella Pete

Categories     Pork

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless chicken breasts
200 g parma ham, sliced
4 links pork sausage, good quality with meat content not less than 80%
400 g peeled plum tomatoes
1 apple
1 leek
1 teaspoon dried herbs
olive oil
brown sugar
red wine vinegar
smoked paprika
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Create a marinade for the chicken using some brown sugar, red wine vinegar, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Score the chicken deep along its length but don't cut all the way through. Make some additional shallow cuts over the chicken to help absorb the marinade.
  • Place the chicken in the marinade and ensure to work it into the cuts. Cover and place in refrigerator for at least an hour.
  • Whilst the chicken is gathering flavour in the marinade prepare the stuffing. Remove the skins from the sausages and discard.
  • Peel, core, and chop the apple. Slice and finely chop a couple of inches of the leek. Add the dried herbs and mix well into the sausage meat, wrap in clingfilm and place in the refrigerator.
  • After an hour, rip the plum tomatoes and place a few good size pieces into the deep cut you made in the chicken breasts followed by the sausage meat.
  • Pour a tablespoon of water over the stuffing. Now sprinkle the chicken with a good pinch of paprika.
  • Wrap the chicken with the parma ham. Take four pieces of foil and wrap each breast loosely (we don't want the foil to stick to the ham). Before sealing the foil add a tablespoon of water to help keep the meat moist whilst cooking.
  • Place in a pre warmed over at 180c.
  • After about 30 minutes open one of the foil parcels and check that the chicken is cooked. It may need a little a more time.
  • When the chicken is cooked open the foil and return to the oven for 4 or 5 more minutes to dry the parma ham a little. The ham should be dry and slightly crisp in places.
  • Carefully remove form the foil, server and enjoy.

  • Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside.
