Chicken with roasted peppers and peppered salami

  • CHICKEN ROULADES WITH ROASTED PEPPERS AND PEPPERED
    SALAMI

    4 servings

    4 boneless and skinless chicken-breast halves

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Freshly ground black pepper

    8 thin slices peppered salami

    1 whole, jarred roasted red bell pepper, cut into 12 strips

    4 teaspoons grated Parmesan or Romano cheese

    1 tablespoon olive oil

    1. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a
    meat pounder to about 1/2-inch thickness.

    2. Sprinkle chicken lightly with salt and a little pepper. Top each breast
    with 2 overlapping slices salami and 3 strips red pepper. Sprinkle each
    with 1 teaspoon cheese and roll up the breasts. (They will not roll
    tightly and the ends do not need to be tucked in.)

    3. Place rolls seam-side down in a small baking pan and brush with
    olive oil. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven about 25 minutes.
    (Baste occasionally with the cooking juices.) Test for doneness.

    4. Transfer chicken to a cutting board, cut into slices and transfer to
    plates. Spoon the cooking juices over the chicken and serve.
