Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 lb)
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
8 thin slices prosciutto
8 thin slices provolone cheese
32 leaves fresh basil
3 Tbs unsalted butter, divided
1 Tbs vegetable oil
4 cups mixed mushrooms (such as crimini,
-- chanterelle, and maitake), torn or chopped
-- into small pieces
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbs mixed chopped fresh herbs (such as
-- basil, parsley, and chives)
1. Halve chicken breasts horizontally, keeping 1 long side attached; open
halves like a book. Pound breasts until 1/4-inch-thick. Season on all sides
with salt and pepper.
2. Place 1 chicken breast on a work surface, cut side up. Overlap 2 slices
prosciutto on top of chicken, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Top prosciutto with
2 slices provolone; layer 8 basil leaves over cheese, maintaining border.
Roll up chicken lengthwise and tie with kitchen twine. Repeat with remaining
chicken breasts.
3. Preheat oven to 450°.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a large heavy ovenproof skillet. Add
roulades and cook until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer
skillet to oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into
center of roulades registers 165°, 7 to 8 minutes. (The chicken will be
cooked through but still juicy.) Transfer chicken to plates and let rest for
10 minutes.
5. Scrape drippings and any melted cheese from skillet; discard. Set skillet
over medium-high heat and melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add mushrooms. Cook,
turning once, until mushrooms are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with
salt and pepper; add broth and vinegar. Simmer until liquid is thickened and
reduced, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon butter and herbs;
season with salt and pepper.
6. Cut off and discard twine. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch slices. Drizzle
mushroom sauce over.
