Chicken Zucchini And Prosciutto Recipes

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sprinkle the garlic and sage on the chicken cutlets; season with salt and pepper. Wrap 2 or 3 slices prosciutto around each cutlet.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until the prosciutto is golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, whisk half of the lemon juice, the mustard, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Add the lettuce and tomatoes; toss to coat.
• Add the chicken broth and the remaining lemon juice to the skillet; cook over medium heat until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter and cook, stirring with a rubber spatula, until the butter melts and the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the salad. Drizzle with the pan sauce.

CHICKEN WITH PROSCIUTTO AND SAGE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear until skin is nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove chicken to a platter, skin side up. Reduce heat to low, add fennel and onion to sauté pan, season with salt and pepper, stir in ground sage and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes, stir, add stock, bring to a simmer, cover and cook until potatoes are just about tender when pierced with a paring knife, 15 minutes.
• While potatoes are cooking, tuck a sage leaf under the skin of each thigh. Turn thighs over and season the flesh side of each with salt and pepper, and place 2 sage leaves on each. Roll each thigh into a bundle, skin side out, and wrap in prosciutto, using 2 overlapping slices for each to fully enclose the chicken. Tuck wrapped chicken, seam side down, in among the potatoes in the sauté pan. Add the peas. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, basting chicken with pan juices halfway through.
• Remove chicken to a warm platter and surround with potatoes. Stir vinegar into the pan sauce, add salt and pepper if needed, and pour, including the peas, over and around the chicken and potatoes. Garnish platter with sage and serve.

• Heat oven to 400°F

• Meanwhile, in a second skillet, over medium heat, heat the remaining oil.
• Cook the prosciutto until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the zucchini, garlic, and the remaining salt and pepper and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the prosciutto, zucchini, and garlic to the skillet with the chicken, squeeze the lemon over the top, and toss. Divide among plates.

HAZELNUT CHICKEN IN PROSCIUTTO-CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Dredge chicken breasts in flour and shake off excess. Mix together egg and milk until thoroughly combined. Dip chicken into egg mixture, then press into chopped hazelnuts.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, and cook until golden brown on both sides, and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Once done, place chicken on a paper towel-lined plate, and keep warm.
• Increase heat to high, and pour in wine to deglaze. Stir in mushrooms, prosciutto, and spinach; cook until the mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in cream, bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer for 5 minutes more. Ladle sauce over chicken to serve.

• Bring chicken broth to boil in large skillet. Add zucchini and cook over medium heat 6-7 minutes, stirring often, until crisp-tender.
