Best Chicken Zucchini And Prosciutto Recipes

CHICKEN, ZUCCHINI, AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F
• Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Season the chicken with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer to oven and roast for 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a second skillet, over medium heat, heat the remaining oil.
• Cook the prosciutto until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Add the zucchini, garlic, and the remaining salt and pepper and cook until tender, about 3 minutes.
• Transfer the prosciutto, zucchini, and garlic to the skillet with the chicken, squeeze the lemon over the top, and toss. Divide among plates.

PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED CHICKEN

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.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED CHICKEN BREAST RECIPE

Steps:

• To brine the chicken breasts, place them in a large bowl with enough water to cover them. Add sea salt and stir to mostly dissolve. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature, or for up to a day in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (232 degrees C).
• Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, mix together the goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, minced garlic, and fresh thyme leaves.
• Cut a slit horizontally in each chicken breast, not cutting all the way through, to form a pocket. Stuff the inside with the goat cheese mixture and press lightly to prevent filling from falling out.
• Lay out 3 slices of prosciutto flat (or 4 slices if your chicken breasts are large), slightly overlapping. Place a stuffed chicken breast on top upside down (so that the nicer looking side is face down) and wrap in prosciutto, covering all sides, including the slit. Place into a 9x13 baking dish, preferably with the prosciutto ends mostly tucked underneath.
• Wrap the remaining chicken pieces in prosciutto and place into the baking dish, so that the pieces are not touching or just barely touching.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, until cooked through or internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F(74 degrees C). Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH ZUCCHINI AND BASIL

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, and season all over with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Place zucchini on a rimmed sheet pan, and season with a little more salt and pepper.
• In a small bowl, combine garlic, mint or oregano, coriander (if using) and red-pepper flakes. Whisk in oil. Add chicken to the pan with the zucchini pieces and pour garlic mixture over all, tossing until well coated. Spread chicken and zucchini in a single layer, and roast until chicken is cooked through and zucchini is browned and caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes. You don't need to turn anything.
• Once the pan is out of the oven, squeeze a lemon wedge over everything. Garnish with basil and serve with more lemon wedges and red-pepper flakes on the side.
