Pounded Sage-Orange Chicken

From Bobby Flay's Grilling for Life (page 122), this is Grilled Chicken Breasts with Fontina and Prosciutto with Sage-Orange Vinaigrette.  I put together the Sage-Orange sauce first with white wine vinegar, garlic, orange zest, sage leaves and olive oil in a processor. For the chicken I took two sheets of wax paper and put the chicken between the sheets. Then I pounded the chicken with a mallet until it was about 1/4 inch flat. Making it flat made it possible to layer on Prosciutto, the shredded Fontina, two sage leaves and roll it all up. I held it together with wooden toothpicks that I soaked in water beforehand. Once on the grill, I cooked the chicken on three sides, so that it was done all the way through but also so the heat would be even to melt the Fontina inside. When the chicken came off the grill, I spooned on the Sage-Orange sauce and it all came together. 

Weather Report. Cold Again. Over the weekend the Sun came out and the temperature rose to above 60 for the first time this year. We actually were able to put some wind in some sails on Sunday. But now its back to below freezing and windy - it is less than a month until the start of Spring - bring it on!

Sorry, but we had a temporary interruption in our internet service. That is why this blog entry is late getting up on Bobby Flay Everyday.

The internet may have stopped, but the grill keeps going!
