Recipe for Italian chicken, maybe called spindolini, chick breast around a filling. Please help?

Question

Had this dish in Italian restaurant, white chicken breast rolled thin with some kind of filling or stuffing. Meat was not breaded on outside or fried, baked I believe.

Answer 1

Poultry

INVOLTINI di CARNE co PROSCIUTTO

Meat Rolls Stuffed with Ham and Herbs

SERVES 4

Thin slices of chicken, veal or pork can also be made into involtini, stuffed, rolled bundles with a savory filling.

INGREDIENTS

8 thin veal, pork, or chicken slices cut for scaloppine

8 thin slices of prosciutto

2 tablespoons finely crushed juniper berries

8 whole sage leaves

Grinding of black pepper

Fine sea salt to taste

Colavita™ Extra-Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 cup Montefalco Rosso or other red wine

DIRECTIONS

Lay the meat pieces out flat. Top each one with a slice of prosciutto, a little of the crushed juniper berries, a sage leaf, a grinding of pepper, and a sprinkling of salt. Roll each piece up to form a little bundle. This is the involtino. Tie the involtini with kitchen string. Put them in a baking dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Brush the involtini with olive oil. Bake them 5 minutes, then pour in the wine and continue baking an additional 7 minutes, basting the bundles occasionally with the wine. Serve hot.

Note:

Juniper berries are in the spice section of most grocery stores; use a mortar and pestle to crush them or use a small spice grinder.

hope this helps.          good luck and enjoy.
