Chicken Prosciutto Roll Ups For Two

Total Time: 1 hr Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 2 -3 chicken breasts, skinned, boned
• 2 -3 pieces prosciutto
• spinach, use 1/3 of the frozen, chopped
• 1 (19 ounce) can chicken broth (or homemade)
• 1 (10 ounce) can mushrooms, pieces and stems
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon hot paprika
• 8 ounces angel hair pasta or 8 ounces pasta, you like

Recipe

• 1 cook the spinach (four minutes in a covered corningware dish in the microwave does it for me).
• 2 drain/squeeze out all of the water (be careful, it will be very hot) and set aside.
• 3 slice the chicken breast into thin slices.
• 4 each large breast should make about three slices around a quarter inch thick.
• 5 pound each of the chicken slices thin enough so it will be easy to roll up (about an eighth of an inch thick)
• 6 on each piece of chicken place one slice of proshiutto, spread one third (if you have three pieces) of the spinach, top with a layer of parmesan cheese.
• 7 carefully roll up each piece of chicken into a tight roll (roll down the length of the slice, not across the width).
• 8 fasten each roll with two toothpicks or, if you prefer, tie with twine.
• 9 sprinkle each piece with a shake or two of the spices to your taste.
• 10 get the pasta water ready so everything will be done at the same time.
• 11 in a large skillet that can be covered brown the chicken rollups on all sides (use olive oil if you like).
• 12 when browned sufficiently, put the can of chicken stock and the can of mushrooms (drained first) into the skillet.
• 13 bring to a boil and cover.
• 14 keep a rolling boil while cooking.
• 15 dump the pasta into the boiling pasta water when the chicken comes to a boil and set the timer for ten minutes.
• 16 after five minutes turn the chicken rolls over.
• 17 after another two minutes (three minutes remaining) remove the cover from the pan so the stock reduces some.
• 18 you will likely have to increase the heat to keep the stock boiling when the cover comes off.
• 19 after ten minutes, everything is done.
• 20 drain the pasta and dish.
• 21 place one of the chicken rollups on each bed of pasta.
• 22 spoon some of the stock and mushrooms over the dish and serve.
