Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken With Mashed Cauliflower Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a baking sheet, and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallots, and cook until they turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook and stir an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the shallot mixture to a bowl. Mix in the goat cheese, dates, and basil; stir until well combined.
• With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch long slit into the thick side of each chicken breast. Work your fingers into the slit, and expand the slit to form a pocket in the breast meat. With your fingers or a spoon, stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 cup of the goat cheese mixture. Wipe off any cheese mixture from the outside of the chicken breast, and wrap each breast in a slice of prosciutto so that the pocket opening is covered. Place the chicken breasts, seam sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken meat is no longer pink and the prosciutto is browned and crisp, about 40 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over after 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Sprinkle the garlic and sage on the chicken cutlets; season with salt and pepper. Wrap 2 or 3 slices prosciutto around each cutlet.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Working in batches if necessary, add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until the prosciutto is golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Meanwhile, whisk half of the lemon juice, the mustard, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Add the lettuce and tomatoes; toss to coat.
• Add the chicken broth and the remaining lemon juice to the skillet; cook over medium heat until slightly reduced, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the butter and cook, stirring with a rubber spatula, until the butter melts and the sauce thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the chicken with the salad. Drizzle with the pan sauce.

Steps:

• PREPARE THE CAULIFLOWER MASH: Place a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add the oil to the pan and saute the shallots for 1 minute. Add the garlic. Add the butter and cook until the butter is golden brown. Stir in the cauliflower, milk, and cream. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Decrease the heat to low and simmer very gently until the cauliflower is tender, about 15 minutes. Pour off the liquid and reserve it. Mash the cauliflower in the pan with a potato masher. The mash should be rustic and chunky. Add enough of the reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper and keep warm until serving. PREPARE THE CHICKEN: Place 2 to 3 sage leaves on top of each chicken breast. Wrap 1 slice of prosciutto around each chicken breast. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. COOK THE CHICKEN: Place a large nonstick saute pan over medium high heat, add the oil, and place the chicken breasts in the pan. Cook for 2 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate. MAKE PAN SAUCE: Remove the chicken from the pan and add the butter and shallot. Cook for 30 seconds swirling the pan, then add the wine and simmer until reduced by half. Add the chicken stock and parsley and simmer until reduced by half. Season the sauce with salt and pepper. TO SERVE: Divide the cauliflower evenly among 4 serving plates. Slice the chicken breasts in half on a sharp diagonal. Lay the chicken breasts next to the mounds of cauliflower then spoon the pan sauce over each chicken breast and serve.
