Chicken Marsala Saltimbocca Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour to make a roux and cook, stirring, about 1 minute. The roux should have a wet sand consistency. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and whisk constantly until thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
• Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Lay a slice of prosciutto on each piece of chicken, spread with some ricotta and top with some spinach. Roll up each cutlet and secure with a toothpick.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add the chicken broth mixture to the skillet and bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, remove the toothpicks and spoon over the pan sauce.

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.

Steps:

• Place the flour in a shallow dish. Add salt, pepper and ground sage. Set aside. Pound the chicken thighs to make them more uniform in thickness. Wrap the chicken thighs with Prosciutto slices. Preheat oven 350 degrees.
• Place two tbsp. in skillet. When it starts to smoke dredge the chicken in the flour mixture then into the pan. Brown the chicken on both sides until the Prosciutto begins to get crisp. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and transfer to oven.
• Add the remaining oil to the pan and then add the shallots and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms have gave up their moisture. Add the garlic and saute 1 minute. Add the chicken stock and Marsala Wine and bring to a boil. Let cook until reduced by half. Stir in the butter until melted and glossy.
• Remove the chicken from the oven. Serve the chicken with the sauce over top and garnished with parsley

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.

Steps:

• Make the mash: boil the potatoes in salted water for 15-20 mins until tender. Drain and mash well. Stir in the milk, then the Parmesan and basil. Season with black pepper and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, sit the chicken breasts on a board and cut through them horizontally leaving one side attached. Open them up like a book and lay a basil leaf on top of each, topped with a slice of prosciutto. Secure with a cocktail stick.
• Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and add the chicken breasts, hamside down. Cook for 2-3 mins until golden, then turn over and cook for 2 mins more. Pour over the Marsala and allow to bubble for 1 min. Add the stock and simmer for 5 mins until the chicken is cooked. Lift the chicken out, cover to keep warm, then boil the pan juices to reduce a little. Serve with the basil mash and a green salad on the side, if you like.
