Involtini Di Pollo (Stuffed Chicken Breasts)

Recipe By : The Little Dishes of Italy: Antipast
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Antipasto Poultry
Italian

1 large chicken breast -- bone, skin & halve

For the stuffing:
1 cup Italian bread remove crust; shred
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
3 green onions white & 1" green thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh sage chop, or 1/2 tsp. dry
1 teaspoon fresh Italian parsley chopped
Salt
freshly milled black pepper
2 slices boiled ham
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour heaping
1 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup dry white wine
fresh Italian parsley chopped for garnish

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Place each chicken breast half between two
sheets of waxed paper. Using a meat mallet or the dull side of a cleaver
blade, press down and then push out from the center of each breast half,
flattening it out evenly. Do not over pound or the breasts will break apart.

To make the stuffing: soak the bread in the stock until it is softened, two to
three minutes. Meanwhile, in a skillet melt the butter over medium heat. Add
the green onions and saute, until softened but not browned, about three
minutes. Place the green onions in a mixing bowl. Squeeze the excess stock
from the bread; discard the stock. Add the bread to the bowl, along with the
sage, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste and mix well. Taste for seasoning.

Place a slice of ham on each of the flattened chicken breast halves. Divide
the bread stuffing between the two breasts, spreading it over the ham. Roll up
each breast from a narrow end; the opposite end should remain uncovered and
slightly overlap the roll. Tuck in any stuffing that may have leaked out of
the ends; the ham slice will prevent stuffing from leaking out of the center of
the chicken roll. Using cotton kitchen string, tie the rolls closed in the
same fashion that a roast is laced. Toothpicks can be used to fasten the ends
securely.

Melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Meanwhile, dredge the chicken rolls in the flour and set aside. When
the skillet is hot enough to make the chicken rolls sizzle, add them.
Brown on all sides for no longer than five minutes. Prolonged
sauteing
will toughen the delicate breast meat. To turn the rolls, gently
slide
a spatula under them to prevent rupturing.

Transfer the sauteed breast rolls to a casserole just large enough to
accommodate them, but with enough room to keep them from touching. Set the
skillet aside for later deglazing. Pour the stock over the breasts, cover
tightly, and place in the preheated oven. Bake until the breasts are just
cooked through but still juicy, 20 to 25 minutes. Overcooking by even five
minutes will dry them out. Remove from the oven, and transfer the rolls to a
cutting board, reserving the liquid in the casserole. Remove the string and
toothpicks and let stand for five to ten minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the pan drippings that remain in the skillet in which the
breasts were sauteed. Add 1/2 cup of the stock from the casserole and bring to
a simmer, using a wooden spoon to dislodge any bits stuck to the pan bottom.
Add the wine and continue to simmer to evaporate the alcohol. Taste for salt.

Cut each of the stuffed breasts crosswise into five or six slices and arrange
on a serving platter. Pour the hot pan juices over them. Serve warm or hot.
