Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Breasts With Broccoli Puree
- 4 plump boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 20 thin slices prosciutto (about 1/4 pound)
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 pound very fresh broccoli crowns or florets
- 1 cup plus 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Landaff cheese
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 pound very fresh whole baby carrots, trimmed and peeled or use thickly sliced regular carrots
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley, tarragon or chives
- Cut off tips of chicken breasts to make rough rectangles.
- (Reserve for another use.)
- Lay out about a square foot of plastic wrap.
- Place a chicken breast, smooth side down, in center.
- Starting at narrow end, roll breast into a compact cylinder.
- Tightly wrap in plastic and twist both ends to seal.
- Repeat with remaining chicken and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight, to set shape.
- Lay out 5 slices prosciutto almost on top of one another, like a package of bacon, so short end is about as long as a rolled chicken breast.
- Unwrap a breast and roll it snugly in prosciutto slices.
- Rewrap in plastic.
- Repeat with remaining prosciutto and chicken.
- Chill until ready to cook, for 1 to 4 hours.
