CHICKEN PROVOLONE



Chicken Provolone image

Chicken Provolone, though one of my simplest dishes, is one of my husband's favorites. It is easy to prepare and looks fancy served on a dark plate with a garnish of fresh parsley or basil. Add some buttered noodles for an easy side dish. -Dawn Bryant, Thedford, Nebraska

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 1h10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb chicken breast halve (boneless, skinless)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb asparagus spear (4-5 per breast)
1/2 lb provolone cheese (sliced)
1/4 lb prosciutto ham (thinly sliced)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (Italian or Plain)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Grease an 8x8 (or larger) baking dish.
  • Place each breast in a 1 gallon storage bag on a solid, flat surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4" to 3/8". Sprinkle each side with salt and pepper.
  • Wrap 4-6 asparagus spears with Prosciutto, then carefully wrap that with Provolone. Wrap the chicken breast around the asparagus, provolone, prosciutto roll to make a compact roll. Place the rolls, seam side down, in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle each with a generous amount of the bread crumbs. Cover asparagus tips with a small piece of tin foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the juices run clear (about 50 minutes). Place one additional piece of prosciutto and 2-3 pieces of provolone on top of the chicken. Continue to bake for 10 additional minutes.
  • You now have a beautifully presented piece of gorgeously tasting art. This completed work will serve 2-4, depending on your appetite.
  • Serve with cannellini bean, tomato side dish (1 can cannellini, 1 can petite diced tomatoes, 1 tsp sage, 1 tsp oregano, and 1/2 onion) slow cooked for 30 minutes.
  • Delicious - I hope you enjoy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 32m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (2-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch plus 1 teaspoon
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon dry sherry
3/4 cup chicken broth, low-sodium canned, or homemade or water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 bunches medium asparagus (about 2 pounds), woody stems trimmed, sliced into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
Serving suggestion: Brown or white rice

Steps:

  • Freeze the chicken breasts for 20 to 30 minutes and then thinly slice the chicken against the grain into strips. Toss the strips with about half the garlic and ginger, the soy sauce, sugar, 1 teaspoon of the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the sherry in a bowl. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes. Mix the remaining cornstarch with the broth.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the asparagus, scallions, remaining garlic, ginger, 1/4 cup of water, and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir-fry until the asparagus is bright green but still crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Heat the same skillet until very hot, then add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chicken and stir-fry until it loses its raw color and gets a little brown, about 3 minutes. Return the asparagus to the pan and toss to heat through. Stir in the reserved cornstarch mixture and bring to a full boil to thicken. Mound the stir-fry on a serving platter or divide among 4 plates; serve with rice.
