I can't get tired of chicken


By Baker's corner...somewhere in my kitchen (Visit website)






Do you have the same feeling as me? Anything stuffed tastes so much better. And if it is chicken, it can't be a miss with me.
I love the simplicity of chicken in the sense that you can combine it with many different things, cook it in so many ways and never get bored with it.
There's only one problem. Not only is this chicken stuffed, it will make you feel stuffed, too. But don't worry, it's sooooooooooo good you won't mind. I could eat this every day, I swear.





CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH LEEKS OR ZUCCHINI
(for 2)


2 chicken breasts (2 halves)
1 small leek or 1 zucchini
50 g mozzarella or scamorza
1 tablespoon EVOO
1/2 tablespoon butter
1/2 glass dry Marsala
flour, salt, poultry seasoning


Slice the leek and saute for a few minutes until soft. Set aside and let it cool completely.


Shred the mozzarella


and mix with the leek.
Prepare the chicken for stuffing by opening "a pocket" either along one side or like this:


Carefully and slowly. If you tear the meat, the stuffing will leak out during cooking.
Season the chicken with salt and poultry seasoning, inside and outside.
Fill the breasts with the leek and cheese mixture, and close the opening with a toothpick. You see, making a small opening, makes it easier to close, you need only one toothpick.


Flour the meat on both sides, shake off the extra flour.
In a skillet, warm up the oil and butter and add chicken.


Cook on both sides until the chicken is nice golden brown.



Add Marsala and let it evaporate a little bit, then cover, reduce the heat to minimum and cook for about 5-10 minutes, (depends how thick your chicken is), turning once, until the meat is done.


The chicken itself is very rich so I served it only with salad - a mixed salad with Iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, fennel and corn salad.


I've used the same recipe before but with zucchini, and, as much as I love leeks, I think I prefered it with zucchini. If you'd like to try, substitute leeks with shredded zucchini (no need to precook them). On that occasion I also prepared Crispy potatoes (with a layer of sliced leeks underneath).

POLLO RIPIENO CON PORRI O ZUCCHINE


Questa è una delle ricette per il petto di pollo che mi piacciono di più. La carne rimane morbida e per niente asciutta. Un piatto molto saporito.
Nello stesso modo potete riempire il pollo con la zucchina. Semplicemente sostituite il porro con la zucchina grattugiata grossolanamente (senza cuocerla prima). A me è piaciuto ancora di più con la zucchina. A voi la scelta.


Ingredienti:
(per 2 persone)
2 petti di pollo (o meglio, 2 metà)
1 porro o 1 zucchina
50 g di mozzarella (o scamorza)
1 cucchiaio di olio EVO
1/2 cucchiaio di burro
1/2 bicchiere di Marsala secco
farina, sale


Tagliate il porro a rondelle e soffriggete per qualche minuto con un cucchiaio di olio. Lasciate raffreddare e poi aggiungete la mozzarella grattugiata con una grattugia a fori grossi.
Incidete una tasca nei petti di pollo. Potete farlo tagliando lateralmente oppure come nella foto, infilando il coltello nel senso della lunghezza dalla parte più spessa.
Insaporite il pollo a piacere e riempite con il ripieno di porro e formaggio.
Chiudete con uno stuzzicadenti.
Passate la carne nella farina e scuotete via quella in eccesso.
Scaldate in una padella l'olio e il burro e doratevi il pollo per 10 minuti, girandolo una sola volta.
Sfumate con 1/2 bicchiere di Marsala, coprite e lasciate cuocere a fuoco basso per altri 5-10 minuti per terminare la cottura.


Anche in questa ricetta ho usato le verdure di stagione, e quindi la mando a Betty per la sua raccolta. Visitate il suo
