Pork And Chestnut Sausage Wrapped In Chicken Breast Scaloppine Recipes

CHICKEN SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• In a small bowl, stir together the garlic and butter until well combined. Set aside. Place a chicken breast half on a work surface with the thick side facing to the right (if you're right-handed), and place your left hand down on the chicken breast. Using a very sharp knife, carefully cut the chicken breast from the thick side to about 1/2 inch from the edge of the thin side, in a horizontal cut. Open the cut chicken breast and spread it out like an open book. Using a meat mallet, gently pound the butterflied chicken breast out until it's an even thickness.
• Place the flour into a shallow dish, and dredge each chicken breast on both sides with flour. Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until it stops foaming, and cook each chicken breast until golden brown on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Sprinkle each breast with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken breasts to a platter, and keep warm.
• Cook and stir the mushrooms in the same skillet as the chicken until the mushrooms have absorbed the remaining butter in the skillet and have begun to turn brown at the edges. Stir in capers, lemon juice, white wine, and chicken demi-glace, and stir to combine. Reduce to a simmer. Adjust salt and pepper again, and stir the parsley into the sauce.
• Remove the chicken breasts to plates, and serve the sauce over the chicken. Garnish each serving with a lemon slice.

CHICKEN CASSEROLE W/ PORK SAUSAGE & BROWN & WILD RICE

Steps:

• Cook bone-in chicken breasts in a large pot with desired seasonings (celery leaves, bay leaf, salt and pepper). Remove and let cool, reserving 1/2 cup chicken stock and debone chicken.
• Cook rice according to package (Ready rice takes 90 seconds in the microwave).
• Meanwhile, in a skillet cook sausage until brown, break into bits, and pour off fat.
• Stir in mushroom soup, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauce, reserved chicken stock, chicken and rice.
• Put into a greased baking dish and cover with buttered crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.
• Can be made a day ahead or frozen.

PORK AND CHESTNUT SAUSAGE WRAPPED IN CHICKEN BREAST SCALOPPINE

Steps:

• One at a time, place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. With a mallet or other pounding device, such as the flat side of a hammer or the bottom of a wine bottle, pound the chicken breast until 1/4 inch thick or slightly thinner.
• Discard the waxed paper. Spread about one-sixth of the sausage lengthwise along the center of each scaloppine. Roll up to enclose the sausage and secure closed with toothpicks or kitchen string.
• In a sauté pan large enough to hold the chicken rolls without crowding, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the rolls, sprinkle them with the black pepper, and sauté, turning frequently, until lightly golden all around, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the wine, garlic, and tarragon and stir to mix. Bring just to a boil and decrease the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered, basting frequently, until the juices are no longer pink when a roll is pierced, about 15 minutes. Transfer the rolls to a platter and set aside in a warm place.
• Reduce the liquid remaining in the pan over high heat until bubbles break from the bottom rather than only across the surface, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour the sauce over the rolls and serve right away.
