"OTCC: Chicken Saltimbocca accompanied by Parmesan Orzo Pilaf." |
LAST EDITED ON 03-09-10 AT 07:53 AM (EST) Saltimbocca is an Italian word meaning "jump in the mouth" and is the name of a Roman dish classically made with veal, prosciutto, and sage but we’re using chicken instead. Feel free to make it with veal if you choose.
I chose this dish because when I lived in NYC, this was my favorite dinner. Especially at little place on the upper west side that serves northern Italian cuisine. Mmmmm! I searched and searched for a recipe that mirrored what I had there but couldn’t find one so DH and I adapted our own. Note: You will see a lemon in the picture which we did use. However, the lemon juice completely overpowered the sauce so either I wouldn’t use it all or use is sparingly. Ingredients: Four 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, butterflied and lightly pounded 1/8 pound of thinly sliced prosciutto (Don’t have the deli shave it! Thinly sliced!!!) 8 whole large sage leaves 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage (in addition to the 8 large leaves) 2-3 cups of baby spinach 1 cup chopped tomatoes (I used Romas) 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of chopped garlic. (Use your discrection.) 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons 8 ounces of fresh mozzarella (or four slices of provolone) 1 cup white wine (variable in amount) 1 cup chicken stock or low-sodium broth (variable in amount) All-purpose flour Salt and ground pepper Directions 1. Flatten chicken breasts between plastic wrap. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place 1-2 sage leaves on each breast. Top with a slice of prosciutto, trimming it to fit. Press the prosciutto to help it adhere to the chicken. Flour both sides of the chicken, shaking off the excess. 2. Heat a large skillet. Add the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the breasts, prosciutto side up, and cook over high heat until nearly cooked through, about 3 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook just until the prosciutto begins to shrink, about 1 minute. Transfer the chicken to a covered dish and keep warm. 3. Add the remaining butter to the skillet. Add the wine and cook over high heat until reduced by half, 2 minutes. Add the stock and chopped sage and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half, roughly 3 minutes. If you want more sauce, go ahead and get after it. 4. In a separate skillet, add oil and garlic. Sautee garlic for two minutes and add chopped tomatoes and spinach. Sautee and until cooked. Remove from heat. Now there’s two ways to finish this up. I put a serving of tomatoes and spinach on top of each breast (see pic) and then placed the fresh mozz on top of that. Place under broiler until cheese is melted and bubbly. The other way, which I wish I had done, was place the mozz directly on the chicken (without the spinach and tomatoes) and broil. To plate, place a serving of spinach and tomatoes on the plate and place chicken breast on top. Pour sauce over top and serve. I think the presentation of this way FAR outweighs how I did it. Parmesan Orzo Pilaf 3 1/4 cups low salt chicken broth 1 pound orzo 5 green onions, thinly sliced 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1. Bring broth to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Mix in orzo and simmer uncovered until just tender but still firm to bite and some broth still remains, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from heat. Add green onions and cheese and stir to blend. Season pilaf to taste with salt and pepper. 3. Rewarm over low heat, if necessary, and mix in more broth by 1/4 cupfuls if pilaf is dry. Transfer to large bowl and serve. Pics! The last pic sucks. All that work and I plate it wrong. We had company come over for dinner at the last moment. They had arrived as we were finishing up and I had no time to set up the money shot. Bummer. Ingredients: Sage from my neighbor’s garden: Proscuitto:
Pounding out chicken:
Layering chicken with ingredients:
Dredging:

Chicken finished cooking:
Spinach, tomatoes , olive oil and garlic.
Layering spinach, tomatoes on chicken.

1. "Alternate Recipe: Creamy Cauliflower Soup" |
Since we had chicken last week and my recipe was chicken also, I thought I’d give you an alternative. I stole this recipe from the Pioneer Woman and have made it twice. I cut the amount of stock she used, doubled the carrots and celery and used 1% milk because that’s what we had in the fridge. It was much better the second time around. It’s so good. Creamy, full of veggies, just so yummy. DH doesn’t even bother sitting down during his first serving. Just stands and eats it at the counter and then scoops up some more. Ingredients: 1 stick of butter 1 whole Vidalia onion, finely diced 2 whole carrots finely diced 2 stalks celery, finely diced 1 whole (to 2 whole) Cauliflower heads (roughly chopped) 2 tablespoons fresh or dried parsley (chopped) 1 ½ quarts low-sodium chicken broth or stock 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 cups milk (use whatever you have but I wouldn’t recommend skim) 1 cup half-and-half Salt and pepper to taste. Preparation Instructions: In a large soup pot or dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Add the onion and cook for a few minutes, or until it starts to turn brown. Add the carrots and celery and cook an additional couple of minutes. Add cauliflower and parsley and stir to combine. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, pour in chicken stock or broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Mix the flour with the milk and whisk to combine. Add flour-milk mixture slowly to the butter, whisking constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup half-and-half. Add mixture to the simmering soup. Allow to simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. It should thicken nicely. Check seasoning and add more salt or pepper if necessary. Serve immediately. Eat one bowl and then scoop yourself another. Ingredients. Chopped up. Sauteeing the onions.
Add veggies. Add cauliflower. Add parsley.
Milk and flour.
Adding to butter.
White sauce.
Adding broth. Pot ‘o heaven! Ladle ‘o yumminess!
Enjoy!

26. "UPDATE - Big Hit!" |
The soup and foccacia turned out divinely. Everyone loved the bread (especially DH and DS), but youngest DD would not try it, stating that she would not eat bread with pine needles on it. I guess I didn't chop the rosemary up enough. I used 2 cups flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour and baked it on my baking stone. The crust was perfection.The soup was very, very good. It didn't thicken like it was supposed to, but I figure it was because when I located my whisk in DS's room, I found this: So I had to make due with a fork, but the soup tasted great -- it was very light and yummy. It was a nice change to have a cream soup that wasn't pureed and the cauliflower wasn't too crunchy or too mushy. We will definitely make this one again. I plan to make the chicken saltijumpinyourmouthy thing on Monday. BTW -- I christend my new dutch oven with this recipe

Oh yum! Of course I will have to wait until next weekend because I have a power scrapbooking day tomorrow (into tomorrow evening) and then a family birthday party on Sunday.I could eat chicken every night. I will probably make Querty's chicken salad as well. Thank you for all of the pictures. I think I like it much better when we have pictures beforehand because it answers certain questions.

Mine came as somewhat of an epiphany as well. I was thinking of what would I say if someone asked me what my favorite meal was and I thought Chicken Saltimbocca or Veal/Chicken Oscar. BAM! Light goes on. That's what I'll make for the OTCC! So I chose the Saltimbocca.

Mr. Qwerty helped with the selection of mine. I had another dish in mind when he commented that since I burned the inside of my nasal passages last time I made it, maybe another recipe would be a better choice. He was very enthusiastic when I suggested the lime-chicken salad.

It involved putting balsamic vinegar into a pan that was hotter than expected. I got enveloped by a cloud of vapourized acetic acid. So I really don't know what the dish actually tasted like. I guess I should make it again and stand back

I was a cooking fiend yesterday. Made the soup in the afternoon, so now I have lunches all week. DH not so much a cauliflower fan. The soup was scrumptious! I made the roux and mixed with evaporated skim milk to cut down on the calories.Then moved on to the main. Wow! I found there were a lot of steps so I will try and shorten the process next time but this is definitely a keeper. I had never cooked with orzo before and I was concerned that it wasn't behaving right but at the last minute it did some magic and pulled itself together. It was delish. Thankfully no explosions and as a bonus I got DH to actually eat spinach! An excellent kitchen experience all 'round. Thanks Cap'n

41. "Sooooo yummy" |
I made this last night. I have to admit to two things: Thing one: I followed the ingredients in the recipe exactly, but I did not follow the technique exactly. Since I was making it for a weeknight meal I couldn't bring myself to mess up any more pans, so I combined some steps in order to simplify. If I were making this for company or on a weekend I'd take my time and do it the right way, but for Monday dinner I really needed to just get it on the plate. Thing two: I took two bites before my son had a meltdown, which necessitated my early departure from the dinner table. I didn't make it back to eat until about 9:30pm, after my plate had been sitting in the fridge for a few hours. I microwaved the whole plate to warm it back up. It still tasted good but I was sad I didn't get to enjoy it fresh. I cooked the orzo in one pot and did everything else in one pan. I prepared the chicken and cooked it in the butter/oil first, then removed to a plate to keep warm. Then I sauteed the garlic, tossed in the tomatoes and let simmer a while. When the tomatoes were cooked I added white wine and broth and let it reduce. Then I tossed in the spinach and covered the pan while it cooked for a minute or two. At the end I returned the chicken breasts to the sauce, put the slices of cheese on top, covered the pan and let it all rest off-heat just long enough to melt the cheese. I'm sure I sacrificed a bit of the freshness of the tomatoes letting them cook longer than the recipe called for, and I know I sacrificed the browned bubble cheese that the broiler would have produced, but as I said, I just couldn't bring myself to use more pans or fire up the broiler. (I don't like my broiler much anyway.) This is really delicious - and honestly, with the shortcuts I took it is easy to do for a weeknight meal! The spinach and tomato are wonderful and the cheese adds just the right texture and flavor to bring everything together. Yum yum.
I know it's the side dish here, but the Orzo was a HUGE hit. Mr. Fro LOVED it, and my children also gobbled it up. It was ready much earlier than I'd anticipated so it had to sit for a while. I ended up adding a bit of milk to it right before serving (really, just about a 1/4 cup) to loosen it back up. DELICIOUS and easy. I think this orzo side is going to be making many appearances in the future. I didn't manage any photos last night. I did just go into the kitchen to see if I should photograph the leftover piece of chicken and sauce that was put away last night, but it doesn't look as pretty. Smells fabulous, though. Thanks, tkit! Excellent recipe!!

52. "Jumped in my mouth" |
but sadly the Orzo did not. Seems Tahlequah has a ban on orzo or there was a recent sale on the stuff and it was all bought up because there was not a bit to be found. So I improvised with gnocchi, mushroom and pea gnocchi to be exact. And...it was goooood.I was very unorganized last night so my kitchen was trashed after making this but the results were well worth it! Rob loved it - like really loved it. He wants to try veal - I'm not a veal person so said he'd have to do that on his own. I used sweet cherry tomatoes with the spinach. Oh - and for those watching carbs, Bre used almond powder to dust with and said it turned out wonderful. There's not a thing I would change. And the gnocchi went wonderfully with it. I don't have an ingredient shot or a prepped shot because, like I said above, I was way unorganized last night. So here's pics already in progress. Plus - I forgot about a webinar I was suppose to participate in, so Rob finished it off and plated for me and I quickly took the last shots. I can't wait to fix this with all fresh ingredients from my garden!! chicken - pounded with sage chicken - pounded with sage and prosciutto tomatoes, sage, spinach shot chicken cooking Before eating every last bite - I wish I'd had time to play with plating before taking the pics because the colors are amazing Just posting this has made me glad that I have left-overs!

56. "RE: OTCC: Chicken Saltimbocca accompanied by Parmesan Orzo Pilaf." |
Actual quote from Mr. Qwerty "This totally rocked the planet!"Some changes I made -- I used mozzarella in the orzo -- totally by accident. My work shift was cancelled today, and we don't have a printer at home so I was running back and forth between the living room and kitchen, trying to memorize several steps at a time. When I discovered my error innovation, I quickly added some parmesan. It was very moist and slightly gooey, so I will try it next time with just the parmesan. The kids absolutely loved it the extra cheesy way. And for some reason, one of our chicken broths went missing, so I added vegetable broth to the making the sauce stage. I plated the chicken on top of the spinach/tomatoes and it was so good. I was worried I had overcooked the chicken, but with the moisture of the tomatoes and spinach coming through with each bite --- MMMMMMMM. The kids weren't fussy for the tomatoes/spinach, but abolutely loved the rest of the food.
Definitely will make again and will make sure I have enough wine for drinkage. This was my first time working with fresh sage (surprisingly fuzzy) and orzo. Excellent choice!

58. "Done!" |
Woah! Big picture. No big changes. I used provolone cheese instead of mozzarella. The deli was packed, and they had some pre-packaged, which was $4.99. The provolone was on sale for $1.89, plus it was a bonus gas item. I actually carried the laptop into the kitchen - I wanted to be able to look at the pictures as I went along. One of DH's buddies was over, and they were a little distracting, especially when DH wanted to show him something on an ebay auction. I loved the smell of the sage. And the garlic. I was a little worried that I had screwed up the sauce, but I didn't. I did have a lot left over. For the Orzo, this is not a complaint, just more of an FYI. 1 pound was way too much for us. I will eat it today and maybe tomorrow for lunch - I will have to see how it does as leftovers. I had thought about cutting it in half. I should have. I loved it, it was just too much for two. For the Orzo, I used half of the green onions. And I didn't measure the cheese. I bought the Treasure Cove pre-shredded and just tossed some in, mixed it up and tossed in some more. Awesome Tkit!

67. "Delicioso!" |
This was a treat and every bite was delicious!I more or less followed the recipe, but used kale and chives from my garden for the spinach and green onions, and deli sliced ham for the prosciutto because both Mr. Karchita and myself find prosciutto too salty. The sage also came from my garden, although I hadn’t realized how battered my sage plant had gotten over the winter and I could barely find enough leaves on the poor little thing for the recipe. The kale was very nice in this recipe as was the sage flavor. I plated it with the pilaf on one third of the plate, the kale and tomatoes on another third, and the chicken on the other third. It looked great and the kale kept a vibrant green color much more so than spinach. This is a bit more elaborate than I usually cook even for guests. It is a dish I would love to eat in a restaurant and let someone else do the clean up. When I make it again (and I will!), it’ll be for a dinner party. I had a little difficulty having everything ready at the same time, so in the future, I think I’ll make the pilaf ahead and just keep it warm or reheat it, and focus on the timing of the chicken and vegies. Managing two things at once works much better for me than three things. I didn’t total up all the fat grams and calories, but I kept my portions small and I don’t think it was a diet buster. Thanks for a winner, tk! Bouquet by c2p

Very Nice.I did it with chicken tenderloins which pound out to a nice size. I was worried it would be too sagey but it was really nice. I froze the left over fried up chiken bit as I figured they'd reheat with the broiling of the cheese (I'll have to see how long they take to reheat, might heat them up on one side then flip and cheese them. I did the tomato and spinach under the chicken and that was nice. I may do that same sort of thing for other grilled or sauteed pounded chicken (or other meat) as I kinda liked how that turned out. The Orzo was nice, it was the first time I've made that.

74. "Another winner!" |
Thanks Tkit - this recipe was awesome. I am so happy when I find a new recipe that comes out really well. DH said it was de-lish and DS pronounced that it was good and that it was a keeper! I was especially impressed that DS said that as I have never seen him eat spinach before! Even my dog liked the sauce. I call her my gourmet dog because she likes to lick our plates when they are in the dishwasher and the only thing she has turned her nose up at was something with a lot of lemon in it. DH helped prepare the saltimbocca and he made the orzo (and he gave that recipe the Greek seal of approval!) It was nice to have two people working on this menu. I put the spinach and tomato mixture underneath the chicken. Next time I would actually make more spinach. There wasn't enough for me to have a bite of spinach with each bite of chicken. I also have never used fresh mozzarella in a melted dish (I always bought shredded) and what a difference it makes. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The one thing I need to work on is reducing sauces properly. I had a ton left over and DH thought it was because I didn't reduce it enough. Thanks again to Tkit and her DH for creating this recipe!

This does look good - I didn't see it earlier so I'm glad Boo bumped. Thanks CT.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Saltimbocca, ate it with colcannon though as I couldn't find any Orzo.I sort of do the spinach as a veg, although I lighly saute a shallot with it and have a little less tomato but add a little tomato puree. J Slice what a cool lady Just another Sleeperbloke

The orzo was a huge hit in the Tummyhouse! Neither of us was very hungry and we were both tired so I just made the orzo last night. It was quick and very, very good. I can't believe I've never had this little pasta before. Just one more awesome find thanks to the peeps of the OTCC! Four thumbs up for the whole meal T-kit. The orzo is definitely on the Easter menu.

Look at all the wonderful things I've been missing out on not having ever tried orzo!

93. "Rave reviews from Nolay" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-28-10 AT 07:16 PM (EST)Nolay is excited for me to make this again. My notes: 1. I misread and wrapped the entire breast in proscuitto. Given this, and the fact I didn't have low sodium broth on hand, it was a hair salty for me. Nolay loved the saltiness. Maybe I can compromise next time. 2. I printed off the ingredients for the orzo but not instructions, as I wasn't going to make it if I didn't happen to have all the ingredients around. Well, I had a sliver of parm and half bag of orzo, so I went for it. Winged it, making it like Rice-a-roni. Loved toasting the orzo first. Added chives from the garden instead of green onions, as it's what I had around. Four thumbs up on the orzo! 3. I agree with many comments above me: a) it's easier than I thought it would be, b) More spinach was good, c) wasn't as "sagey" as I thought it might be, which is probably good. It was just right. 4. My picture sucks. I was in a hurry and apparently wasn't holding very steady. I included the little ramekin of lemon meringue I made earlier (like crustless pie, used Splenda). It's about time for dessert and TAR! -A Tribetastic Creation
