Braciola Braciole Di Pollo Chicken With Prosciutto Recipes

QUICK CHICKEN BRACIOLE

Steps:

• Add sauce to a large skillet, cover and place over medium heat to start warming.
• Cut a horizontal slit along the long, thin edge of each chicken breast, cutting nearly through to the opposite side. Open each so it forms two flaps, hinged at the center. Cover with a large piece of plastic wrap and pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet or a heavy saucepan to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Layer 2 slices of prosciutto, 1/2 cup chard and 1/4 cup mozzarella on each breast. Starting from a long side, roll closed. Tie the ends with kitchen string and tuck them in to keep the filling from falling out. Sprinkle each roll with pepper.
• Add the rolls to the warm sauce; cover and simmer, turning occasionally, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the rolls registers 165 degrees F, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a clean cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Remove the string and slice the rolls crosswise. Serve with the sauce.

BRACIOLE

Steps:

• Stir the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl to blend. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the oil. Season mixture with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Lay the flank steak flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the bread crumb mixture evenly over the steak to cover the top evenly. Starting at 1 short end, roll up the steak as for a jelly roll to enclose the filling completely. Using butcher's twine, tie the steak roll to secure. Sprinkle the braciole with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the braciole and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add the wine to the pan and bring to a boil. Stir in the marinara sauce. Cover partially with foil and bake until the meat is almost tender, turning the braciole and basting with the sauce every 30 minutes. After 1 hour, uncover and continue baking until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes longer. The total cooking time should be about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the braciole from the sauce. Using a large sharp knife, cut the braciole crosswise and diagonally into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer the slices to plates. Spoon the sauce over and serve.
• In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrot and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and taste for seasoning. If sauce tastes too acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to round out the flavor.
• Pour half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
• If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and then pour 1 to 2 cup portions into plastic freezer bags. Freeze for up to 6 months.

BRACIOLA STEAKS STUFFED WITH CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• If the braciola is more than about 1/4-inch thick, place the slices between sheets of wax paper and gently pound them. Pair off the braciola slices that are closest in size and shape. Sprinkle the meat lightly with salt and pepper and place a slice of cheese and a slice of prosciutto between each pair, folding them over if necessary so that they do not protrude beyond the edges of the braciola. Reserve a bit of the basil for garnish and place the remainder between the braciola slices.
• Place the beaten eggs in a wide, flat bowl and place the flour and bread crumbs on separate plates. Mix the bread crumbs with the thyme and cayenne. Dip the braciola in the flour, coating it on all sides and being careful that the pieces do not come apart. Shake off any excess flour and coat the braciola in egg and then in bread crumbs, making sure that the coating seals the edges of the meat.
• In a skillet large enough to hold the braciola in a single layer, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When hot, add the braciola. Cook, turning once, until nicely browned, about 3 minutes for each side. Drain the braciola briefly on paper towels, place on a serving dish, garnish with the reserved basil and serve.
