Recipe Introduction
Chicken Roulades Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Sun-Dried Tomatoes -
Serves four.
List of Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, rinsed and patted dry
4 oz fresh goat cheese, crumbled
8 oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves, drained
8 fresh basil leaves, rinsed and patted dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten in a small bowl
1 C plain dry bread crumbs, spread on a plate
1 lemon cut into wedges
Recipe
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425.
Set the chicken ona cutting board and, holding a chef’s knife parallel to the board, cut each breast in half so you have eight thin cutlets. Lay plastic wrap over the chicken and pound with a heavy skillet to flatten.
Remove the plastic, season with chicken with the salt and pepper, and top each piece with the goat cheese, the sundried tomatoes, and basil. Season with salt and pepper and roll up each piece starting with the narrow end. Use a toothpick to secure each roulade.
Dip each roulade in the beaten egg and then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Roast until the chicken is firm to the touch and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of a roulade reads 165, about 20 minutes.
Set the broiler to high and broil directly under the element until the chicken browns, about 1 minute. Let the roulades rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks.
Slice the roulades in half on the diagonal and serve four pieces to each person immediately.
