Chicken Roulade With Spinach Feta Cheese And Roasted Red Pepper Food

SPINACH AND RED PEPPER-STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Mix together the spinach, peppers, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Butterfly the chicken: Holding your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice a breast through the middle, stopping about 1/2-inch short of the other side. Open the breast up like a book and flatten it with your palm. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to a little less than 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining breasts.
• Divide the spinach mixture into four portions and place a portion in the center of each breast. Roll the breasts tightly around the filling and secure with kitchen twine. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the roll-ups and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the filling registers 160 degrees F, another 6 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer the roll-ups to a cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium heat (be careful, the handle will be very hot). Add the shallots and cook until softened, stirring, about 1 minute. Add the wine and boil until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth; boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Off the heat, whisk in the butter and season with salt and pepper.
• Cut away the twine and slice the chicken into 1-inch rounds. Serve with the pan sauce and sprinkle with parsley.

SPINACH AND FETA CHICKEN ROULADE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. 2 For the Filling: in a large sauté pan over medium high heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, shallot, and garlic and sauté until tender about 3 minutes. Add the spinach, in 3 batches, allowing the spinach to wilt a little with each addition, season with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove from heat, and allow to cool to room temperature. Using a kitchen towel, ring out any excess moisture from the spinach mixture. 3 Roughly chop the spinach mixture and add to a medium bowl, along with pine nuts, feta cheese, lemon zest, Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and chili flakes, if desired. Fold together until combined. 4 For the Chicken Roulade: season the chicken breasts with Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among the 4 chicken breasts, keeping the filling away from the edges. Beginning at the narrower end of the chicken of 1 chicken breast, roll up, enclosing the filling as you would a jelly roll. Tie with kitchen twine every inch to secure. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts. 5 Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a cast iron skillet, over medium high heat and add the chicken. Rotate to evenly brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Place in oven, bake until a thermometer registers to 165ºF on the thickest part of the chicken, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let rest 5 minutes. Cut the twine and slice into 1-inch pieces. 6 Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges. 7 Tips: - Use a pork cutlet instead of chicken! - Make sure you don't over-stuff the chicken, or the filling will come out the sides!

ROASTED CHICKEN ROULADE WITH AMERICAN TRIPLE CREAM AND GEORGIA HAM

Steps:

• For the mustard sauce: Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and horseradish in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit to allow the flavors to meld while you make the chicken.
• For the chicken roulade: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil over low heat in a large saute pan. Add the garlic and red chile flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Increase the heat, stir in the baby arugula, season with salt and pepper and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Drizzle the chicken breasts with a little oil and thinly pound between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Put the breasts on a flat surface skin-side down, and sprinkle the top sides with salt and pepper. Place 2 slices of the ham on each breast; spread 2 ounces of the cheese over the ham and then top with one-quarter of the arugula in the center. Roll the breasts tightly and tie with butcher's twine. Sprinkle the roulade with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cook until it begins to shimmer. Put the rolls in the pan seam-side up and add the butter. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and continue cooking until the breasts are just cooked through and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the rolls to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the mustard sauce and topped with a bit of micro arugula.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200C). Line a 9x13-inch shallow-sided baking sheet with waxed paper to extend slightly up the sides.
• Place the spinach in a pan with just the water that clings to its leaves after washing. Cook over moderate heat until tender: 7-10 minutes. Drain.
• Put the spinach, butter, and egg yolks in a blender, and work until smooth. Transfer to a lare bowl, and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
• In a separate bowl, shisk the egg whites until they are stiff. Fold the egg whites into the spinach mixture using a metal spoon, then pour the spinach and egg-white mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing it to the edges.
• Sprinkle 2 tbsp of the Parmesan cheese over the roulade. Bake the roulade until just firm and spongy in the center: 12-15 minutes.
• Place a piece of waxed paper large enough for the roulade next to the oven, and sprinkle it with the remaining Parmesan. Remove the waxed paper that was used to line the pan from the top.
• Place the pepper under a hot broiler, shiny side up, until the skin blisters and turns black. Allow to cool. Tear off the papery skin, and remove and discard the stalk and seeds. Cut into strips.
• Beat the cream cheese with enough milk to make it spreadable, then cover the roulade with it. Arrange the red pepper over the top in widel spaced stripes, then roll up the roulade from one of the short sides.
• Place the roulade with the seam underneath so it cannot unroll. Trim the ends, and if desired, sprinkle the top with freshly grated Parmesan.
