Chicken Tallegio
- 4 large chicken breasts
- 4 thin slices brie cheese (use Tallegio if you find)
- 4 slices parma ham
- 16 sage, leafs (fresh)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 300 ml chicken stock
- 4 tablespoons double cream
- 2 tablespoons white wine
- Pound flat the chicken breasts and put them on a plate.
- Pound the tenderloins.
- keep the chicken breast pounded side up and patch any holes with the tenderloins.
- ( The tenderloins are those two dangling strips of exess meat on the inside of the breast).
- Grind some pepper on top and lay a slice of tallegio lenghtways in the centre.
- starting at the shortest end, roll the chicken into a sausage shape with the cheese enclosed in the centre.
- Repeat with remaining rolls.
- Put a slice of parma ham on the board and arrange 4 sage leaves evenly spaced on top.
- Lay a chicken roll, seam side down and wrap prociutto loosely around the chicken.
- The sage leaves will show through the wafer thin parma ham making the rolls more attractive.
- heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan, add the chicken rolls and cook 3 minutes on each side ( 4 sides kind of) then cook a further 3 minutes for a total of 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and add the wine and stock to the pan, scraping the bottom of the frying pan with a wooden spoon.
- Boil for 2 minutes then add the cream.
- Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken.
- Turn off heat and rest the chicken for 2 minutes.
- serve in warmed plates with sauce spooned over it.
- Serve with baby boiled potatoes and green beans.
