CHICKEN ROLLATINI WITH SPINACH ALLA PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Wash and dry cutlets, season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat oven to 450°. Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick spray.
• Combine breadcrumbs and 2 tbsp grated cheese in one bowl and 1/4 cup egg beaters or egg whites in another.
• Shred or finely chop 1.5 oz of mozzarella cheese and combine with remaining grated cheese, spinach (make sure you squeeze it dry), 2 tbsp egg beaters, and ricotta cheese.
• Lay chicken cutlets down on a working surface and spread 2 tbsp of spinach-cheese mixture on each cutlet. Loosely roll each one and keep seam side down.
• Dip chicken in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down in a baking dish (no toothpicks needed).
• Repeat with the remaining chicken. When finished, lightly spray with olive oil. Bake 25 minutes.
• Remove from oven, top with sauce then cheese.
• Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 more minutes.
• Serve with additional sauce on the side and grated cheese.

CHICKEN PARM ROLLATINI

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Cook the broth, garlic, tomatoes and basil in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper; place smooth-side down on a work surface. Sprinkle with the parsley and mozzarella. Starting at the short end, roll up to enclose the filling. Secure with a toothpick.
• Mix the parmesan and breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Put the egg white in another dish and beat until foamy.
• Mist a cast-iron skillet with cooking spray. Dip the chicken rolls in the egg white, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place in the skillet, seam-side down. Sprinkle with any remaining breadcrumbs and mist with cooking spray. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve with the tomato sauce, and polenta, if desired.

CHICKEN ROLLATINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the bread in half, then cut each half crosswise into 4 strips; toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and the sage and season with salt and pepper. Put 1 strip of bread and 1 provolone stick across the center of each chicken cutlet. Tightly roll up the chicken around the bread and cheese, then wrap each roll with a piece of pancetta and secure with a toothpick.
• Heat a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat; add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the chicken; cook, turning, until browned, 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup chicken broth. Transfer the skillet to the oven; cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until slightly golden, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and cook, stirring, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the escarole, the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the escarole is tender, 7 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet using a slotted spoon. Cook the pan juices in the skillet over medium-high heat until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter. Serve the chicken with the pan sauce and escarole mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Pound chicken breasts flat, and lay them on work surface. Sprinkle liberally with Parmesan cheese on both sides. Place a pinch of minced garlic and 1 teaspoon butter in the center of each breast. Cover each breast with a layer of prosciutto and mozzarella cheese. Reserve some of the prosciutto to place on top of the chicken. Roll up each chicken breast, and secure with toothpicks.
• In a 9x13 inch baking dish, combine white wine and olive oil. Arrange chicken rolls in dish. Place a small piece of prosciutto on top of each roll, and sprinkle with pepper.

ROTINI CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a boil. Cook the chicken breast in the boiling water until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut the breast into cubes and spread in a single layer on a plate; place chicken in refrigerator for 1 hour, or until completely cooled.
• Fill a pot with lightly-salted water and bring to a boil. Stir the pasta into the boiling water; cook until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, and rinse thoroughly with cold water to cool.
• Stir the celery, Parmesan cheese, green onions, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, parsley, basil, and thyme together in a large bowl. Fold the chicken, rotini, and peas into the mayonnaise mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
