Baked Double Cheese Chicken Roll-Ups

Delicious!!! This recipe is from An Italian in My Kitchen. The chicken was perfectly cooked.

Ingredients-

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley
2-3 tablespoons of bread crumbs
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 slices prosciutto
4  slices of Swiss cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil 

Method-

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease (with olive oil) a 9-inch baking dish.

In a small bowl, mix together the butter and the fresh Italian parsley, and set aside.

In a small dish, mix together bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese set aside.

Tenderize the 4 slices of chicken.  (This is done using a meat tenderizer, banging on the meat 4-5 times on both sides). 

Lay out the 4 slices of chicken, spread the butter, and parsley mixture on the slices, and top with 1 slice of prosciutto and a slice of cheese (2 slices if necessary), roll up and secure with a toothpick or 2.

Then roll each one in the bread crumb & parmesan cheese mixture and place in the prepared baking pan. 

Sprinkle any leftover crumb mixture on top of the roll-ups. 

Sprinkle with a pinch or two of salt and drizzle with a little olive oil or a little butter. 

Bake for about 30-35 minutes. 

Serve immediately.

I picked up a new, or used Calphalon pan at the church's White Elephant Sale! It came with the cover for $1.00. I gave it a test run making the zucchini. Love it!

Beef Noodle Soup

Snow Day! Worked from Home Day! Did lots of baking too today. And made Beef Noodle Soup.

Seemed perfect for a cold winter dinner.

The recipe is from An Italian In My Kitchen. Quite easy to make. The recipe can be found here. There is even a video of the recipe on the page. Like I said, this was easy!

I did make the noodles for the soup. I used the new KitchenAid Pasta attachment. I was reading a post somewhere online and it mentioned that when you are mixing eggs into your flour to use a measuring cup to make an indentation in the flour and just add the eggs into the whole. Brilliant!!  See photos below if you do not believe me.

Along with the soup I made Cacio e Pepe Scones. You read that correctly. OMG delicious!! Click for more those on the Friday Night Baking Blog.
