Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

4 large, skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, about 6 ounces each
1 pound sausage meat
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
3 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup canned imported tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place one chicken breast half at a time between sheets of plastic wrap, wax paper or, preferably, split-open plastic bags. Pound the breasts with a flat, heavy mallet, making them flat, but do not break the flesh of the breasts.
  • Shape one-quarter pound of the sausage meat at a time into an oval. Place the sausage in the middle of a breast half and wrap to enclose it thoroughly, envelope fashion. Repeat with remaining sausage meat and breast halves.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dredge lightly in flour and shake off excess.
  • Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and add the chicken rolls. Cook, turning as often as necessary to brown lightly on all sides, about five minutes.

  • Add the onion and garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the wine and cook down until the wine is reduced by half.
  • Add the bay leaf, thyme, tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to blend. Cook about one minute and add the chicken broth. Cook down about five minutes and pour the sauce over the chicken rolls.
  • Place in the oven and bake 20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED ROASTED CHICKEN BREAST AND SIDE DISHES



Sausage-Stuffed Roasted Chicken Breast and Side Dishes image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 boneless, skin on chicken breasts
2 cups flour, for dredging
6 maple breakfast sausage links
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup prepared basil pesto
1 cup condensed milk (as used) or cream
1/4 cup dark raisins
1 cup warm water
2 (10-ounce) packs frozen spinach
1 medium yellow onion
2 vine ripe tomatoes
Unsalted butter, for sauteing
4 zucchini flowers
Small piece Brie
1/2 pound fresh string beans
1 fresh lemon

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
  • To prepare chicken: If frozen, thaw the chicken breasts, rinse, pat dry and set aside. Using a large flat plate prepare the "dredging flour" with salt and pepper and set aside. Take 2 of the maple sausage links and cut them into half so you have 4 pieces. Open the chicken breasts and remove the "fillet" and reserve for another use. Make a small pocket in the inside of the breast. Place 1 of the sausage pieces in the pocket and wrap the breast around it creating a closed container surrounding the sausage. Dredge the breasts in the prepared flour and set the 4 breasts on a clean plate. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven safe lidded skillet. Starting with the open end first, brown the breasts fully being careful not to open the closed breast. As the breasts cook, the opening will seal making it easier to finish the searing and browning. Once fully browned cover and place in the oven and cook through. Using a small saucepan, combine basil pesto and cream and mix well. Over medium heat reduce the pesto/cream mixture by 1/3 and set aside.
  • For the spinach: Plump the raisins in a cup of warm water and set aside. Cut the remaining sausage in to small pieces and set aside. Remove the frozen spinach from the package. Carefully cut the blocks into 8 large pieces. Using a lidded skillet, saute the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the sausage and lightly brown. Add the frozen spinach and cover. When the spinach has totally thawed combine the onion and sausage and season with salt to taste. Add the raisins and their liquid and finish cooking, about 10 minutes. Allow the liquid to evaporate but do not dry out completely.
  • Tomatoes, zucchini flowers and string beans: Using a non-stick pan quickly sear the tomatoes in some butter. Do not cook them longer than 30 seconds on each side. Reserve the pan and juices for cooking the zucchini flowers. Gently open the zucchini flower and remove the piston from its center. Replace it with a small piece of brie and close the flower. Using the same pan from above quickly cook the zucchini flowers. They are done when you see the Brie melting. Remove from the pan and place 1 on each of the seared tomato slices. Set aside. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the string beans and cook until your desired doneness. Dress with extra virgin olive oil and some freshly squeezed lemon. Season with the freshly ground black pepper.
  • Remove the roasted chicken breasts from the oven and remove the skin. Place one breast centered on the lower third of the individual plate. Place a zucchini flower topped tomato on each plate centered above the breast. Frame the plate with some dressed sting beans on one side and the sauteed spinach on the other. Slowly re-heat the basil pesto sauce and place 2 to 3 spoonfuls of the sauce on each breast. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tips for Making Sausage Stuffed Chicken Breasts

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife to make the pocket in the chicken breasts. This will help to prevent the chicken from tearing.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken breasts. Otherwise, they will be difficult to cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken breasts at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts. They are done when they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion

Sausage stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. With a little planning, you can have this dish on the table in under an hour. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give sausage stuffed chicken breasts a try.
