Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Fresh Ricotta and Ham on a Bed of Roasted Rosemary Potatoes

I had a thawed chicken breast.

I had fresh ricotta.

I had ham from a Christmas party I'd worked.

So...  Chicken breast roulade...  Stuffed with fresh ricotta and minced ham!

I  minced about 1/3 C ham, and added about 1/3 C fresh ricotta...

...plus 1t Dijon, salt, pepper...

And stuffed and rolled two pounded pieces of chicken breast.  Then I salted, peppered, and floured the rolls, dipped them in egg, dipped them in breadcrumbs, and sautéed them in butter and EVOO until all sides were brown. Then I put them in a 350° oven for about 10 minutes.

I sliced them and plated them on a bed of sautéed potatoes with rosemary, and sauced them by deglazing the pan with white wine, chicken stock and a bit of thyme.  At the last moment I added 2T unsalted butter and turned off the heat.

Ridiculously good!  Like high-end restaurant food!  And easy!!!
