Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 4 boneless (skinless chicken breasts)
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 8 cloves garlic (minced)
- 24 fresh sage leaves
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- all purpose flour
- 1 pound grape tomatoes (halved or 2 pints)
- 3/4 cup Kalamata olives (chopped)
- 1/4 dry white wine
Instruction
- Heat the oven to 400 F
- Carefully split each chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thin halves, continue until you've cut all of the breasts in half.
- Use paper towels to pat them dry.
- Place each piece of chicken between sheets of plastic wrap spritzed with cooking spray before adding the top piece of wrap.
- Use a mallet or rolling pin to gently pound to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch.
- Season each piece with salt and pepper -- go light with the salt because of the prosciutto.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic over the top side of each piece of chicken.
- Arrange 3 sage leaves over each piece of chicken, then top with one thin slice of prosciutto. With the sage and the prosciutto on the inside, roll up the chicken into a tight bundle starting at the smallest end. Secure with a toothpick.
- Dredge the bundles in the flour to lightly coat all sides. Tap off excess flour.
- In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high, heat the oil and butter. Once it is heated use tongs to carefully place each bundle, seam side down, in the skillet. Brown for 3 to 5 minutes, then turn and brown for another 3 to 5 minutes. The time will vary with the thickness of the chicken rolls. Don't overcook because they will finish in the oven.
- Add the tomatoes, wine, and olives to the skillet, then place in the oven and roast until the bundles reach 165 F at the center, about 10 to 12 minutes. Serve the chicken over organic quinoa and spoon the roasted tomatoes and Kalamata olives with some juice over the chicken and quinoa
