Chicken Roulade image

I just got this in an email from Prevention and am posting here for safekeeping. They say "Stuffed with sundried tomatoes, baby spinach, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, this colorful combo brightens up basic chicken cutlets. Other greens such as arugula, chard, and baby kale can take the place of spinach in this dish."

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

16 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, trimmed and pounded thin into cutlets
2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes (dry packed)
2 cups Baby Spinach
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 cup onion, chopped
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon garlic
1/3 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon water
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Place the spinach in a large nonstick skillet with the washing water clinging to the leaves or a tablespoon or two of water if dried. Cover and cook for 2 minutes, tossing occasionally, or until wilted. Drain and press firmly with the back of a spoon or squeeze to remove excess moisture. There should be 1/2 cup spinach. Wipe out the skillet.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, combine the onion, 1 teaspoon oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and 1 tablespoon water. Turn the heat to medium. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until the onion sizzles. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, stirring once, for about 3 minutes, or until softened. In a small bowl, combine the onion mixture, cheese, and spinach. Stir to mix. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle the tomatoes evenly on the smooth side of the cutlets.
  • Divide the spinach mixture among the cutlets. Spread to the edges of 3 sides, leaving about 1" at the narrow tip free of spinach mixture. Loosely roll up the chicken, ending with the narrow tip, and secure with wooden picks.
  • Add the remaining 1 teaspoon oil to the large skillet and set over medium heat. Place the chicken in the pan. Cook, turning, for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides. Add the broth or wine, cover, and cook over low heat for about 7 minutes. Uncover and transfer chicken to a serving platter. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Boil the skillet juices for about 5 minutes, or until reduced to a glaze. Diagonally slice the chicken into 1"-thick pieces. Drizzle with pan juices and serve.
