Chicken Roulades With Goat Cheese And Sun Dried Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan. Loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers, leaving 1 side attached. Cut the goat cheese into 1/2-inch-thick slices and place 1 or 2 slices plus 1/3 of the julienned sun-dried tomatoes under the skin of each chicken breast. Pull the skin over as much of the meat as possible so the chicken won't dry out. With your fingers, rub each piece with olive oil, and sprinkle them very generously with salt and pepper. Bake the chicken for 35 to 40 minutes, until the skin is lightly browned and the chicken is just cooked through. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the spinach, goat cheese, almonds, breadcrumbs and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• In another bowl, combine the butter, parsley, rosemary, thyme and lemon zest. Set aside.
• Lay the chicken breast-side down. Slice through the skin along the backbone of the chicken, cutting through the skin. Using your boning knife and fingers, release the skin from the chicken, angling the knife towards the meat of the chicken. Once you have loosened the skin from the back side, turn the chicken over so it is breast-side up and slice down the center of the breast. Using your boning knife and fingers, pull back the skin from each side. Once you get to the legs and wings, cut around each piece to release the skin from the joint. Take your time, this takes practice, and it doesn't have to be perfect, we just want as much skin as possible. Once you have removed the skin from each side of the chicken, set them aside.
• Remove each breast from the chickens by taking your boning knife and following the breast bone down each side. Use the bones as your natural guide, follow it all the way down to remove the breast.
• Once the breasts are removed, butterfly each breast by cutting into the thickest part of the breast horizontally, creating a pocket, like opening up a book. Once butterflied, place each breast in between 2 layers of plastic wrap and, using a meat mallet, pound until it is 1/4-inch thick.
• Lay the chicken breasts flat and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Divide the herbed goat cheese stuffing between the 4 breasts, placing the stuffing mixture towards the bottom third of the breast, closest to its narrowest point. Roll the breast around the stuffing, tucking in the ends as you roll, like you would a burrito.
• Lay the chicken skins out and divide the herb butter between them, placing the butter just below the center point of the skin. Place the rolled breast directly on top of the butter and then wrap the skin around the chicken, tucking in the ends, repeating the same process you did to roll the breasts. Once rolled, secure the skin with 3 toothpicks, one in the middle and one on each end.
• Heat the oil in a nonstick, oven-safe saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the roulades and sear on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the internal temperature is 165 degrees F and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remove the toothpicks, slice and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl; set aside. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a second small bowl and set aside.
• Place chicken thighs on a cutting board and layer a piece of plastic wrap on top. Pound thighs slightly with a meat mallet to flatten. Divide goat cheese mixture among all of the flattened chicken thighs; spread evenly down the middle. Starting at the short end, roll up the chicken thighs and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
• Dredge chicken rolls in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour, and set on a plate. Repeat until all of the rolls have been coated with flour.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thigh rolls in pan and cook until all sides are browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer rolls to an oven-safe dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium heat. Once butter starts to bubble and turn brown, add chopped sage and swirl the pan until sage becomes fragrant. Pour in broth, wine, and lemon juice. Bring sauce to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
• Transfer chicken rolls back to the skillet and cook in the sauce for about 2 minutes, turning frequently to coat. Plate rolls and spoon sauce over top.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, mix goat cheese, tomatoes, shallot, garlic, and the 3 to 4 leaves of basil.
• Using a small sharp knife and working with one chicken breast at a time, cut a 2-inch-long horizontal slit into the thick side of chicken breast. Move knife back and forth in slit to form a pocket. Divide cheese mixture among chicken pockets. Press edges closed and secure with a toothpick to seal. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in large ovenproof skillet over high heat. Add chicken, skin-side down; cook for 3 minutes or until skin is brown. Turn chicken over; transfer skillet to oven. Bake until cooked through (170 degrees F), about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a heavy small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Slice chicken and place on a serving plate. Drizzle lemon butter over chicken. Garnish with additional basil.

Steps:

• Spread 1 ounce goat cheese over each chicken breast. Top each with 1 tablespoon of sun dried tomatoes and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon basil. Roll up jelly roll style and secure with toothpicks.
• In a large frying pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken; cook, turning, until lightly browned outside and white but still moist inside, 10-12 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from pan. Add broth and remaining 2 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes. Boil until reduced by half.
• To serve, remove picks from chicken; cut crosswise on the diagonal into ½ inch slices. Arrange on plates and spoon about 1 tablespoon sauce over each serving.

Steps:

• For the mustard sauce: Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and horseradish in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit to allow the flavors to meld while you make the chicken.
• For the chicken roulade: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil over low heat in a large saute pan. Add the garlic and red chile flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Increase the heat, stir in the baby arugula, season with salt and pepper and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Drizzle the chicken breasts with a little oil and thinly pound between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Put the breasts on a flat surface skin-side down, and sprinkle the top sides with salt and pepper. Place 2 slices of the ham on each breast; spread 2 ounces of the cheese over the ham and then top with one-quarter of the arugula in the center. Roll the breasts tightly and tie with butcher's twine. Sprinkle the roulade with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cook until it begins to shimmer. Put the rolls in the pan seam-side up and add the butter. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and continue cooking until the breasts are just cooked through and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the rolls to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the mustard sauce and topped with a bit of micro arugula.

Steps:

• Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Place egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in egg, then coat with bread crumbs., Combine cheese and tomatoes. Place 1/4 cup cheese mixture down the center of each chicken breast; top with each with bacon. Roll up from a short side; secure with toothpicks., Place on a greased baking sheet; drizzle with oil. Bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Discard toothpicks before serving.
