    Chicken Saltimbocca (Gluten-Free)

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.

    The retirement of the family that owned Niccolino’s, one of my favorite Italian restaurants in the charming northern California town of Cotati, inspired me to honor them with a variation on their traditional veal saltimbocca recipe.

    The owner Nick does a piece of veal better than I ever could, so I opt for chicken in this version. I also like it's more substantial profile when it comes time to match up against the spinach and prosciutto.

    This enticing dish is always a crowd-pleaser at my dinner table.

    Ingredients:
    4 chicken cutlets, pounded evenly
    1½ cups fresh spinach
    4 slices prosciutto
    1 cup chicken stock
    ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
    1½ teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary
    1½ teaspoons pepper, divided
    1½ teaspoons salt, divided
    Juice from one lemon
    4 toothpicks or kitchen twine

    Directions:
    Rinse and pat dry spinach. Toss in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil and ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Lay out flattened cutlets and season with remaining salt and pepper. Lay 1 slice of prosciutto over each piece of chicken and arrange several spinach leaves on top. Sprinkle with rosemary and Parmesan cheese.

    Beginning at the shorter end, carefully roll up cutlets, keeping stuffing tucked inside. Depending of the shape the cutlets took while pounding, secure with either a toothpick or tie together with string.

    Heat the remaining olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Add stock and lemon juice and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer about 4-5 minutes longer, until chicken is cooked through.

    Remove chicken and set aside to rest. Remove toothpicks or string before serving. Increase heat and stir sauce until it reduces to about 2/3 cup, about 5 more minutes. Drizzle sauce over chicken or serve alongside.

    Hello Jefferson,

     

    I didn't see where you put the rosemary in this recipe?

    Pamela,

    Sorry about the slip! The rosemary should be sprinkled in with the with Parmesan cheese after the prosciutto and spinach leaves are arranged. Cheers!

    Risotto is a classic Italian starter open to endless variation. Whether you go sweet or savory, a creamy base is a must. Stick with Arborio rice if possible, though most short or medium grain varieties will do in a pinch. The key is not to over-stir as you add the broth—trust the rice! In this recipe, a great balance is born between the salty cheese and zesty, fresh mint.
    Ingredients:
    1½ cups Arborio rice
    1 cup frozen peas, thawed
    2 tablespoons fresh mint, roughly chopped
    1 small yellow onion, diced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    4 tablespoons butter
    1 cup white wine
    4 cups chicken broth
    ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Directions:
    Heat broth in a small saucepan over stovetop until warm but not boiled.
    Melt 2 tablespoons butter in ...

    Spring is here, and the veggies are flowing. When that happens, it's time to put them to work. Pasta Primavera is another of my many, many favorite dishes. Give me my favorite Schar pasta and whatever fresh veggies might be on hand, grab a splash of wine and throw in a dash of simple preparation and, violá, a smashing meal. I like this particular recipe because it is easy to make, and practically guarantees smiling guests.

    Ingredients:
    1 pound of gluten-free pasta (I like Open Original Shared Link)
    ¼ pound sugar snap peas,
    ¼ pound of broccoli florets
    1 cup zucchini, cut lengthwise and sliced

    1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
    4 cloves garlic, t...
