Proscuttio Wrapped Chicken Stuffed W/ Feta & Mint -- Doused In A 3-Day Blood Orange Reduction
- For the Chicken & Filling:
- 3/4 cup Bulgarian feta (or whatever feta you have on hand...)
- 1 egg - beaten
- 2 tablespoon fresh mint - chopped
- 4 turns fresh ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup soft goat cheese
- l clove garlic - crushed
- approximately 3 slices proscuttio per breast
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts - pounded to 1/4 to 1/2 an inch thick
- Extra utensils: kitchen twine
- 3-Day Blood Orange Reduction:
- 9 large blood oranges - peeled and skinned
- 1 regular orange
- 1 cup tangerine juice
- 2 cups red wine
- 1/2 cup orange liquor (we used Orange Curacao)
- 3/4 cup port
- Pound chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Add feta, egg, mint, black pepper, paprika, goat cheese, and crushed garlic all together in a bowl. Smash together with a fork until slightly lumpy but also smooth.
- Lay out pounded chicken breasts on flat surface. Spoon one to two tablespoons filling into middle. Roll up like a burrito. Wrap each breast in pancetta also covering the little ends in case any of the feta filling is seeping out.
- Use kitchen twine to tie securely; first the long ends; then two ties around middle sections (see pic!).
- Heat olive oil and butter in medium sauce pan over medium to medium-high heat. Place each roll in and saute until deep mahogany/golden.
- Remove to baking dish and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees until chicken is cooked through (be careful here - the chicken will cook quickly - you want to find that nice balance between cooked through and juicy - be very very careful not to overcook - you don't want it to be card board-y. =)
- When cooked, remove from oven and let rest for about five minutes. Slice on the diagonal; place on plates and spoon blood orange reduction over top.
- (This would be good with a nice light cucumber salad...=))
- Just throw everything into a large pot and cook down for about 5 hours or so, until thick and fragrant. Spoon over stuffed chicken or use for other (very interesting) things...
