Made This Last Night - Awesome Rolled Chicken

LeilaFace

My husband is not dieting with me so finding a recipe for dinner we both can agree on sometimes presents a challenge. I made this last night on a whim. I had no recipe to go by so this is my own. It was so good I thought I'd share. This recipe is not open for criticism, just enjoyment.



What you'll need:
3 TBSP Olive Oil
2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar
2 ounces Red Wine
3 Thin Sliced Chicken Breasts
1/4 White Onion Chopped ( a little over a 1/4 of a cup)
2 Cloves Garlic Chopped
1/2 Cup - 3/4 Cup Part Skim Ricotta Cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Toothpicks
Frying Pan
Bowl
Baking Dish/Pan

What to Do:
Add Oil, Vinegar and Wine to a pan. Put on Medium Heat.
Saute Onion and garlic until onion is almost clear.
In a bowl mix sauteed onion and garlic with ricotta cheese and salt and pepper.
On a pan place a hefty spoonful of the ricotta mix in the middle of the chicken.
Wrap chicken around the filling and pin with toothpicks.
Brush the oil-wine-vinegar used to cook the onions and garlic on the rolled up chicken.
Cook at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Brush another coat of the oil-wine-vinegar mixture.
Bake at 250 for 15 more minutes.
Let cool, remove toothpicks and serve!

*My husband said next time we should add pine nuts to the filling for a nice crunch.
** I don't know how to fix my pictures no matter how I re-size them they never come out right.

That looks awesome! Did you use the same sauce for the veggies? Looks like you had zucchini and yellow squash on the side? Yum!

I sure did after the last brush over the chicken i sauteed some veggies with some added Italian seasoning and salt and pepper in the same oil-wine-vinegar sauce.
