Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare a baking dish by spraying it lightly with cooking spray oil.
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thick, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and chopped fresh sage. Mix until well-blended.
- Lay the pounded chicken breasts on a clean surface.
- Place a slice of prosciutto on each chicken breast.
- Spoon the ricotta mixture evenly onto each prosciutto-covered chicken breast.
- Starting from the narrower end, carefully roll up each chicken breast and secure with toothpicks, if necessary.
- Brush each chicken roulade with the beaten egg to help achieve a golden crust.
- Place the roulades in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped watercress, lemon juice, and olive oil. Toss until well mixed.
- Remove the toothpicks from the cooked roulades.
- Slice the roulades into 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick pieces.
- Arrange on a serving platter and garnish with the dressed watercress.
Enjoy your delicious Ricotta and Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Roulade!
Tips:
- When pounding the chicken breasts, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap to prevent sticking and to get an even thickness.
- If you don't have prosciutto, you can substitute it with thinly sliced ham or bacon for a similar flavor profile.
- Make sure to securely roll the chicken to prevent the filling from oozing out. You can use toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold the roulades together during cooking.
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in lemon juice and olive oil for 30 minutes before preparing the roulade.
- The roulades can be prepared ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator for a few hours before cooking, making it a convenient option for entertaining guests.
This Ricotta and Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Roulade is sure to impress with its rich flavors and beautiful presentation. Serve it with a fresh salad or lightly roasted vegetables for a complete meal. Enjoy the delightful combination of creamy ricotta, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and tender chicken in every bite!
