Pancetta Wrapped Chicken With Cabbage Recipes

PANCETTA-WRAPPED CHICKEN WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl. Pour 5 tablespoons oil into glass baking dish. Stir in half of herbs. Add chicken. Turn to coat. Cover and chill at least 6 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
• Sauté chopped pancetta in heavy large Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Add cabbage and sauté until tender, about 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Slightly overlap 2 slices of pancetta on work surface. Set 1 chicken breast half atop pancetta. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Top chicken with 1/4 of remaining herb mixture. Place 2 more slices pancetta atop chicken, tucking edges around chicken to enclose. Repeat with remaining pancetta, chicken and herbs.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rosemary sprigs and garlic and sauté until rosemary is fragrant and garlic begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Using slotted spoon, remove rosemary and garlic and discard. Add chicken to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to heavy baking sheet, being careful to leave pancetta wrapped around chicken. Bake chicken until cooked through, about 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, drain drippings from skillet. Add wine to same skillet and boil until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Rewarm cabbage over medium heat, stirring often. Divide cabbage among 4 plates. Top each with chicken breast. Drizzle 1 tablespoon sauce over.

PANCETTA WRAPPED STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• Mix goat cheese, red pepper, pecans, and garlic together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Lay each cutlet onto two slices of pancetta.
• Sandwich each chicken cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap; pound chicken with a kitchen mallet to about 1/4 inch thick. Spoon goat cheese mixture onto the chicken cutlets. Roll chicken and pancetta around the goat cheese mixture and place onto prepared baking sheet with the seam side down. Season each roll with salt and pepper.
• Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the rolls should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
