Prosciutto-Wrapped Stuffed Chicken With Herbed Ricotta

"This recipe is from Rachel Ray. Her recipe uses fresh parsley, basil and thyme. She also uses wine to deglaze the pan. I have made adjustments to the recipe based on what I used. Feel free to adjust herbs to your liking and if you cook with wine, it can be used in place of the chicken stock. Be creative."

  1. Wonderful! Easy enough to make. I messed it up a little bit with the tongs moving it to the plate and forgot to add the sauce for the photo - but it was very well received in my home. Thanks, Paula. Made for Culinary Quest 2014.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
