CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA



Chicken Saltimbocca image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 (3-ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded to evenly flatten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 paper-thin slices prosciutto
1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 (14-ounce) can low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place the chicken cutlets flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Lay 1 slice of prosciutto atop each chicken cutlet.
  • Squeeze the frozen spinach to remove the excess water. Season the spinach with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, toss the spinach with 1 tablespoon of oil to coat.
  • Arrange an even, thin layer of spinach atop the prosciutto slices. Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over each. Beginning at the short tapered end, roll up each chicken cutlet as for a jellyroll. Secure with a toothpick.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook just until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice, and scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Simmer the cooking liquid over high heat until it is reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Season the cooking liquid with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove toothpicks from the chicken. Drizzle the reduced cooking liquid over the chicken and serve immediately.

FIERI'D CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA



Fieri'd Chicken Saltimbocca image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 fresh sage leaves and stems
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup canola oil
4 thin slices prosciutto
4 ounces thinly sliced provolone
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Begin by turning the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sage leaves with stems and let simmer until the sage has crisped and the oil has infused with the sage flavoring, about 2 minutes. Remove the sage and reserve the oil in the skillet.
  • If you have thick chicken breasts, butterfly them in half. Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and, using the flat side of a meat tenderizer, pound out until an even 1/2-inch-thick. Remove from the plastic and sprinkle each chicken breast with the salt and pepper on both sides. Then dredge in the flour and dust off the excess.
  • Add the canola oil to the same skillet over medium-high heat with the sage infused olive oil. Working in batches, add the chicken breasts to the skillet, searing on both sides. After 2 to 3 minutes, turn the chicken breasts and brown the other side for 2 minutes. Chop the sage that was crisping with the olive oil and sprinkle on the chicken breasts. Place a single slice of prosciutto on top of each chicken breast and press it down firmly so it sticks. Then add the provolone slices on top. Place in the oven for 5 minutes to melt the cheese. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Deglaze the pan with the white wine and cook over high heat until reduced slightly. Add the chicken broth and simmer until reduced by half. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cold butter cubes. Swirl until the butter has melted completely and the sauce has a sheen to it. Pour the sauce over the chicken and garnish with the parsley.

SANDY'S CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA



Sandy's Chicken Saltimbocca image

Try this and you'll know why they call it saltimbocca--Italian for 'jump in your mouth.' It's kind of like it jumps right off of your plate. Though it's traditionally made with veal, I made it with chicken. Quick, easy, and so delicious!

Time 30m

Yield 8

16 large fresh sage leaves
16 thin slices prosciutto
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
½ stick butter

Steps:

CHICKEN SALTIMBOCCA



Chicken Saltimbocca image

Saltimbocca's name means to "jump in the mouth" with flavor. It is a restaurant dish, but at home on a weeknight, a chicken breast version makes a very tasty facsimile. Pound the chicken and marinate it in a mixture of chopped sage, garlic and olive oil, then brown it quickly before it goes under the broiler with cheese and a slice of prosciutto. Fried sage leaves make a savory garnish. There's no sauce. Wilted spinach is the best accompaniment by far. Actually, it fits right in with the current nostalgic trend toward retro Italian-American cooking.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 4-ounce pieces
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon chopped sage, plus 24 large sage leaves
2 garlic cloves smashed to a paste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, optional
Olive oil
6 thin slices prosciutto
6 slices fontina cheese (about 4 ounces)

Steps:

  • Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken to flatten a bit. Salt and pepper each piece on both sides and place on a platter. Sprinkle with chopped sage, garlic, red pepper flakes (if using) and olive oil. Massage in the seasoning to distribute, cover and marinate at room temperature for one hour, or refrigerate for up to several hours.
  • Heat a wide skillet over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons olive oil. When the oil looks wavy, add the sage leaves and let them crisp for about 30 seconds. Remove and drain.
  • Brown the chicken breasts in the oil for about 2 minutes per side, then transfer to a baking dish large enough to fit them in one layer.
  • Top each piece with 2 sage leaves, a slice of prosciutto and a slice of fontina. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is bubbling. Garnish with remaining sage leaves.

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

750g small waxy potatoes, such as Ratte or Anya
2 tbsp olive oil or rapeseed oil
3 garlic cloves
150g mixed olives
50ml marsala or white wine

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Slice the potatoes lengthways to about the thickness of a £1 coin and tip into a large roasting tin. Add half the oil and the garlic cloves (unpeeled), then season and toss to coat. Spread to an even layer, then scatter with the olives and pour over the marsala along with 100ml water.
  • Tear the prosciutto strips in half. Open up the chicken thighs and season. Put a sage leaf on top of each piece, then wrap loosely with a strip of prosciutto. Lay the wrapped chicken on top of the potatoes, then cook in the oven for 35 mins.
  • Trim away the stem ends of the green beans, toss in the remaining oil and seasoning, then place in little bundles around the chicken, along with a few more sage leaves. Return the tin to the oven for 15-20 mins until the beans are tender, and the potatoes and chicken are cooked through and crisping at the edges.

OVEN ROASTED CHICKEN TENDERS SALTIMBOCCA



Oven Roasted Chicken Tenders Saltimbocca image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 chicken tenders
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 leaves sage
8 slices Prosciutto di Parma
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 wedges lemon
Wild Mushroom Broken Spaghetti Risotto with Arugula and Hazelnuts, recipe follows
1 package dried mixed wild mushrooms or porcini mushrooms
1 quart chicken stock
2 cups water
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound spaghetti, broken into small pieces
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cup hazelnuts
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, a few handfuls
4 cups arugula
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, top each tender with 2 leaves of sage. Wrap each tender with a slice of ham. Coat the tenders liberally in olive oil, a couple of tablespoons.
  • Arrange meat on baking sheet on parchment paper and bake until crispy and firm, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • To serve, slice meat on bias and pile on Wild Mushroom Broken Spaghetti Risotto with Arugula and Hazelnuts.
  • Alternatively, skewer the tenders and serve with lemon wedges on a plate as first or second course.
  • Place mushrooms, stock and water in a sauce pot and heat, keep warm on low.
  • Heat a medium saute pan or risotto pan with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, 3 turns of the pan, over medium to medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic to pan, season with salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until tender 4 to 5 minutes. Add pasta and toast until deeply golden in color and very nutty in fragrance, 6 to 7 minutes. Stir in wine and let it cook away, 1 minute. Ladle in stock every few minutes, stirring for a good minute with each addition of stock to develop starches. Evaporate almost all of the liquid before each addition of stock. Pasta will cook up quicker then rice. Start tasting after about 8 to 9 minutes of cooking time once you begin to add stock. When you are down to the last cup of your liquids, remove mushrooms, chop and add to pasta.
  • While the pasta cooks, toast hazelnuts in a skillet until fragrant. Peel nuts by rubbing the skins off in a clean kitchen towel.
  • When pasta is cooked to al dente, stir butter into the pan then stir in the cheese.
  • Dress arugula with lemon juice, a drizzle olive oil, and salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Serve risotto in shallow bowls topped with greens and nuts.

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed of fat and membranes
24 fresh sage leaves, stems removed
6 slices prosciutto
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 Tbs. dry oloroso sherry

Steps:

  • Rinse and pat dry chicken breast halves and place them smooth-side up on a work surface. Place four sage leaves at an angle atop each chicken breast half, spacing them evenly for a uniform, striped look. Carefully center a prosciutto slice atop the chicken breast widthwise, covering sage leaves, and wrap the slice around, securing it in back with toothpicks.
  • In a nonstick skillet, heat olive oil on medium. Place chicken breasts sage-side down in pan, cover and cook 10 minutes. Turn chicken breasts and continue cooking, uncovered, until cooked though, 5-7 minutes depending on thickness.
  • Transfer chicken breasts to dinner plates. Add sherry to pan and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, scraping to loosen any browned bits, for 1 minute, until liquid in pan becomes a syrupy glaze. Place each chicken breast half on a dinner plate, spoon some pan glaze over each and serve immediately.

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets (about 2 pounds total)
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, divided
12 small fresh sage leaves, divided
8 thin slices prosciutto (about 6 ounces)
1 pound baby new potatoes, sliced in half lengthwise, quartered if large
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, drained, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1 bunch curly kale (about 8 ounces), ribs and stems removed, coarsely chopped
Special equipment:
2 (18x13") rimmed baking sheets

Steps:

  • Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 425°F. Arrange chicken cutlets in a single layer on rimmed baking sheet and season with 1/2 tsp. pepper. Place 1 sage leaf on top of each cutlet, then wrap each in 1 slice of prosciutto, starting from the top and wrapping in a single layer, making sure cutlet stays flat.
  • Finely chop remaining 4 sage leaves and toss with potatoes, garlic, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper on second rimmed baking sheet.
  • Cook chicken in upper third of oven and potatoes in lower third until prosciutto is crisp and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 165°F, 12-14 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk anchovies, vinegar, honey, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl; add kale and toss to coat.
  • Remove both baking sheets from oven; let chicken rest. Spread kale evenly over potatoes and return to upper third of oven. Roast until potatoes are tender and kale is browned at edges, about 5 minutes more.
  • Divide chicken among 4 plates. Serve potatoes and kale alongside.

Tips:

  • To ensure that your chicken is cooked evenly and thoroughly, use an instant-read thermometer to check that it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the oven.
  • If you don't have prosciutto on hand, you can substitute another type of cured meat, such as pancetta or bacon. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • If you're looking for a more flavorful dish, try adding some fresh herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or sage, to the chicken before baking.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Baked chicken saltimbocca is a classic Italian dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Experimentation with different ingredients and seasonings to create a unique and delicious dish that everyone will enjoy.
