CHRISTINA'S CHICKEN PARMESAN EGGPLANT ASPARAGUS ROLL-UPS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-heat. Add eggplant and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk 1 egg with the ricotta. Stir in the reserved eggplant, asparagus, 1/4 cup of the mozzarella, 1/4 cup Parmesan, oregano, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Put the chicken breasts in a large plastic bag and pound until very thin and of even thickness. Remove chicken from bag and season with salt and pepper. Spoon a generous dollop of the cheese mixture near the bottom edge of 1 piece of chicken and roll it into a cylinder, around the filling, like a jelly roll. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Beat the remaining eggs in a shallow bowl and put the flour and bread crumbs on separate plates. In a large skillet, melt the butter and shortening. Dredge the chicken rolls-ups in the flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and then coat them with bread crumbs. Place the rolls-ups in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes.
- Spread the tomato sauce in a shallow baking dish and place the roll-ups over the sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Divide the roll-ups among 4 plates, spooning some sauce over the top. Sprinkle with diced tomato and serve immediately.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked asparagus. Look for it in the freezer section of your grocery store.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to flatten the puff pastry.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the roll-ups so that they can cook evenly.
- To make sure the roll-ups are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they're done.
- Serve the roll-ups immediately, while they're still warm and crispy.
Conclusion:
Parmesan asparagus roll-ups are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in advance, making them a great option for busy weeknights. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a complete and satisfying snack or appetizer.
