This is a dish to serve guests--be ready to impress! Good enough to be served at a high-priced restaurant, but easy enough to make yourself. Creamy mozzarella and roasted red peppers make the dish really special. Serve over pasta with Alfredo sauce.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 (6 ounce) jar roasted red bell peppers, drained
¼ cup chopped fresh chives
4 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice a chicken breast in half lengthwise, leaving the halves attached on one side: opened and laid flat, the chicken breast should resemble a butterfly. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound flat. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
  • Combine Parmesan cheese with Italian seasoning and chives, and sprinkle over chicken breasts. At one end of each breast, place 3 strips of roasted pepper. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Roll each breast up, starting on the side with the peppers and cheese. Insert a toothpick in each roll to prevent unrolling. Place in prepared baking dish. Season rolls with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Set oven to broil, and continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven, slice to display the colorful filling, and serve.

We love this recipe, but would like to have some type of topping on the chicken once it is rolled up. Perhaps breadcrumbs?

2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

  • 3. Place in prepared baking dish with olive oil. Bake 15 minutes, then set oven to broil for 5-10 minutes. Remove and slice.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your dish will taste. If possible, use organic, free-range, and locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Chicken Valentino is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and crispy prosciutto is sure to please everyone at the table. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, Chicken Valentino is sure to be a hit.
