Stuffed chicken Chicken melody
I came up with this exceptional dish about 10 years ago for the Dublin pub in Zagreb, where I worked as a chef ...
Preparation steps
- Before we start preparing the meat and shrimp for the stuffing, let’s cook the pasta for a side dish in hot salted water. We clean the shrimp tails, and put the heads and shells to boil in a little spiced water with vegetables for soup (carrots, celery, parsley, carrots, garlic), to have a little stock for the dressing. Prepare a little tomato sauce (link to the recipe is here) . Fry the shrimp tails briefly in a little olive oil and set them aside to cool a bit. Cut the chicken breast meat lengthwise and beat with a kitchen hammer, season with salt and pepper, put a little fried shrimp tails on the meat and close the meat as a roll. Squeeze it hard so that the edge of the meat joins, so that it doesn't unravel when roasting and fry the meat on all sides, cover with shrimp stock, when it boils a little, add tomato sauce, when the sauce boils add a few more raw shrimps (per portion), cover with a little cooking cream to combine the sauce, season with salt and pepper, try the taste of the sauce, and every now and then turn the meat in the sauce to cook on all sides, before the end add the cooked and drained pasta to the sauce and mix everything together .
Serving
Serve hot on a plate so that the meat comes in the middle and around it we serve pasta with sauce and shrimp. Garnish with a sprig of dill and a slice of lemon over the meat.
