Chicken Roulades with Basil


Easy....Quick....Yummy!!! Need I say more? and no ROULADES is not part of my daily vocabulary, but I am considering it.

Ingredients:

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
8 basil leaves
3.5 ounces of Pancetta thinly sliced
2 TBLSP Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Pound Chicken with a meat mallet. Place two of the basil leaves on each portion and season with salt and pepper generously. Roll up, wrap in the pancectta slices and secure with toothpicks. Heat the oil in the skillet, add the roulades and cook, turning frequently, until browned all over. Cover and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, adding 1 TBLSP hot water if necessary. Serve with a raddicchio salad.

HOLLA it's Challah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I have never made this fantastic bread before and I am such a fan of the "no knead bread" recipes, that when I found this one, I had to try it. Ethan was supposed to attend a party at a friends house and this is where this Challah was supposed to go, but of course the child who never gets sick is under the weather so I am now stuck with this huge Challah loaf while on a low carb diet. Lovely! This beauty will be great for the rest of the men in my family though, it will be enjoyed sliced and toasted then spread with butter, jam, nutella etc, the rest will be sliced and used for the best french toast, because it is a fact that only THE best French toast is made with Challah. I added some cinnamon sugar to the top of this with slivered almonds, to be a little fancy shmancy but you don't have to.
