Lemon Garlic Herb Chicken With Grilled Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus And Pesto 3 Bean Salad Recipes

Steps:

• 1.Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag. Add ¼ cup of the marinade; turn to coat well. Place asparagus in a second resealable plastic bag. Add remaining ¼ marinade; turn to coat. Refrigerate chicken and asparagus 30 minutes.
• 2.Remove chicken and asparagus from marinade. Discard chicken marinade; reserve asparagus marinade.
• 3.Grill chicken over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes per side or until cooked through. Grill asparagus 4 minutes or until tender-crisp, turning occasionally. Brush chicken and asparagus with reserved marinade. If desired, grill lemon slices 30 seconds per side. Serve chicken with asparagus. Garnish with lemon slices.

Steps:

• Toss 1/2 pound asparagus (trimmed and thinly sliced) with 2 tablespoons each lemon juice and chopped basil, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest and a pinch each of salt and red pepper flakes. Rub toasted baguette slices with a halved garlic clove. Top with ricotta, the asparagus and chopped chives.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Add the peas to a bowl and begin to mash them with the back of a fork until they are mostly broken down. Add the ricotta and use the fork to blend and mash them together. Add the Parmesan, lemon zest, chile flakes, garlic powder and onion powder and stir to combine. Set the mixture aside while you prepare the chicken.
• Place the chicken cutlets between 2 pieces of parchment paper and pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are 1/4-inch thick. Remove the top layer of parchment paper and sprinkle the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Divide the pea and ricotta mixture evenly among the chicken cutlets, smoothing it out to cover the surface area.
• Working one at a time, starting with the large end of the cutlet, roll the chicken up in a continuous spiral. Place the chicken on a plate seam-side down and continue the process with the remaining chicken.
• Shingle 3 slices of prosciutto so they slightly overlap. Place one piece of chicken about a third of the way up from the bottom of the prosciutto. Similarly to wrapping a burrito, bring the base of the prosciutto up over the chicken, roll the chicken once, then fold in the ends of the prosciutto, so that the ends of the chicken are covered, and continue to roll until the chicken is completely wrapped in the prosciutto. Set aside and continue the process with the remaining chicken.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Add the prosciutto-wrapped chicken to the skillet and sear it on all sides. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the prosciutto is golden and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 or preheat barbecue to medium high.
• Cut asparagus into 5" pieces, discarding tough ends. Place on a baking sheet, toss with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt. Roast until just tender, 3 - 4 minutes.
• Cut the procsiutto into 3 pieces. Coil a strip of prosciutto around each spear. Tie with 1 chive, if you wish. Trim chive.
• Stir mayonnaise with garlic, lemon peel, juice and cayenne. If you have used chives, finely chop about 1 T and stir into the mayo.
• Makes 18 spears.
