Easy Chicken Braciole
This was one of those dishes I created from a trip to the local
farmer’s market. It’s so nice to be inspired by fresh ingredients. Then, this was such an easy dish to make, it
easily can be done on any weeknight, or have friends over for these fresh
ingredients.
Ingredients:
·
1 pound boneless skinless
chicken breasts, thinly sliced
·
4 thin slices of country
ham (I was able to get mine at the farmer's market, but prosciutto would work
too.)
·
8 leaves of Swiss chard,
washed
·
4 ounces provolone,
sliced
·
Toothpicks or butcher's
twine
Directions:
Add marinara
sauce to a large skillet, cover and place over medium heat to start warming.
To
create each chicken serving, layer chicken, county ham, Swiss chard leaf, and provolone
slice.
Roll
ingredients up and secure both sides of the chicken. (note: I would recommend the toothpicks and ‘sew’
them together. I was cooking at a friend’s
and they didn’t have toothpicks or twine, so please excuse my attempt to work
with these skewers! Haha)
Add the
chicken rolls to the sauce. Cover and
simmer (turning occasionally) until chicken reads 165 degrees, which will take
about 15 minutes. Allow to rest for 5
minutes when cooked.
Served here with blue-cheese-and-cranberry-cabbage-salad |
Serve
with pasta (and wine!)
