Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Chicken

 Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Chicken
An extremely flavorful way to make chicken! We found that, with the size of chicken breasts they generally have at the store, there was no way we could eat an entire chicken, so we split one, but it's easy enough to make more for big appetites!

Instructions
  1. Butterfly the chicken breast by cutting through almost to the edge, then folding open, like a book.
  2. Lay a longish piece of cling wrap down. You will be assembling the chicken on top of it, then wrapping it using the cling wrap, so it needs to be long enough to accommodate the assembly process.
  3. Lay the prosciutto out, overlapping slightly. Adjust how you lay out the ham depending no the shape and size of the slices, and the size of the cut chicken breast. Lay the chicken on top of the prosciutto. Spread the mustard over the chicken. You can adjust the amount depending on your taste, but you will want to keep it a pretty thin layer. Place the basil leaves on the chicken, again adjusting for taste, but you should keep to only 1 layer or it will over power the other flavors. Place dollops of the goat cheese on the chicken, trying to keep just a thin layer.
  4. Using the cling wrap to help, roll the chicken up with the prosciutto covering it, then fold the top and bottom of the cling wrap over the bundle, and roll the sides up to make it as tight as possible. Refrigerate for one hour.
  5. Heat oven to 350F. Place a roasting pan in the oven when preheating. Using a thick bottomed pan, add olive oil and heat to medium heat. Remove the cling wrap from the chicken and brown on each side, about 1 - 2 minutes per side. If making several, you may need to cook in batches to avoid crowding the pan or reducing the heat to much. Place in the hot roasting pan for 12 - 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  6. When chicken is cooked, cover with foil and let sit at least 5 minutes.
Recipe Notes

I found that the prosciutto was a bit tough after cooking, so you may prefer to skip the browning process. In which case, rather than placing the roasting pan in the oven to heat spray it with non-stick spray, place the chicken in the pan, and bake for about 15 - 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. That's what I will do next time.

If you'd like, you could try using bacon, which is less expensive, and I feel would work well with the browning first then hot pan method.

Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine salt, Creole seasoning, paprika powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and flour. Dredge the chicken in the seasoning mixture and shake off excess. Reserve any leftover spice/flour mix for the sauce.
  2. Preheat large saute pan, add olive oil and melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken tenders until done, about 8 minutes (3-4 minutes per each side). Remove from the pan.
  3. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the empty skillet and add remaining seasoning mixture into the butter and cook it until flour is no longer raw. Add more paprika and heavy cream into the skillet. Bring to a boiling point.
  4. Lower heat and simmer 3-4 minutes. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  5. Pasta
  6. Boil pasta in salty water, drain, but do not rinse. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. If you think the sauce needs thinning, add reserved pasta water to the sauce. Add it slow - as much as you would like to have according to your liking.
  7. Add cooked pasta into the sauce and stir until fully coated. Add chicken into the skillet with pasta to reheat.
  8. Serve with sauce spooned over chicken and pasta, and sprinkled with chopped parsley.

  2. Spread rice in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish; set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan melt butter or margarine and stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk, bouillon granules, seasoned salt, garlic powder and pepper. Stir all together and bring to a boil. Let simmer and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat; add chicken, cheese and sour cream. Stir until cheese is melted. Mix all together and pour mixture over rice.
  4. Melt 1/2 cup butter or margarine in saucepan and toss with crushed cracker crumbs. Sprinkle crumb mixture over casserole. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
Recipe Notes

I'm going to make this for my mum, who has food allergies, and is lactose intolerant.  The internet says Velveeta, etc, are generally worse for lactose intolerant people than regular cheeses, so I'm going to try substituting 2% lactose free milk for the milk, and a mix of 3/4 mild cheddar and 1/4 mozzarella.

Recipe Notes

I got this recipe from Stephanie at work.  She brought them for a food day.  They were amazing!  So I got the recipe.  I personally think it's a bit on the sweet side with the cornbread, so I think I'll try using spicy enchilada sauce to start with and see how it works out.  Thanks, Stephanie!

Instructions
  1. Empty salmon into bowl. Remove as much of the bone and skin as you'd like - they are small and edible, so it's just a matter of taste. Crush the crackers with your hands as you put them in the bowl with the salmon. Add egg, Worcester, salt & pepper and mix together with your hands. Form 4 patties, making them a bit thick, and put on a plate or small sheet pan to put in the fridge for up to 2 hours before cooking.
  2. Heat skillet with butter/oil to 300F (medium heat). Place patties in, avoid crowding. Cover and let cook for about 4-5 minutes, then flip, cover, and let cook another 4-5 minutes. Internal temperature should be 150-160F.
  3. I like to serve on a plate with just some tartar sauce, but they wold be excellent for sandwiches, too.

Instructions
  1. Put soy sauce, brown sugar, water, Asian sweet-chili sauce, ginger, and pepper in pressure cooker/multi-pot/Foodi. Stir to combine.
  2. Cut pork ribs into 3 pieces and place in cooker.
  3. Cook on High for 30 minutes. Give 10 minute natural release, then release pressure. Pork should be fork-tender. And tasty! Remove to bowl and cover.
  4. Spoon about 1 Tbsp of the hot liquid into a small bowl or container, and whisk in cornstarch.
  5. Set multi-pot/Foodi to sear, or pour liquid to a small pan, and heat to medium until boiling. Add cornstarch mix and whisk. Cook for ~4-5 minutes or until reduced to the desired thickness. Add port back to it to coat and heat. Serve warm on rice or rice noodles, or just whatever sounds good! Can add chopped green onion for garnish if desired.
Recipe Notes

Recipe adapted from:  https://www.tasteandtellblog.com/slow-cooker-pork-roast/

Can also cook for 5-6 hours on low in slow cooker.  Wold work for a roast, also.  In fact, I thought it was a pork loin roast, until it thawed and I opened the package.

Adapt cooking time as needed for larger pieces or different cut of pork.
