Submission to CW11 Chef For A Day Contest:

Age 42


I should be chosen because I am known as the best cook in my circle. I cater 2 parties a year for my extended network of friends just for the joy of doing it. Everybody asks for my recipes and your ratings will be HUGE if word gets out that I am sharing this one :)

Thanks for the opportunity and here is my recipe!

Chicken Rollatini Marsala
Makes 4 servings.

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
10 ounces sliced whole milk mozzarella cheese
Pinch of black pepper
8 large button mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour for coating
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1/4 cup chicken stock

Directions
Pound chicken breasts flat, and lay them on work surface. Sprinkle liberally with Parmesan cheese and a pinch of black pepper on each. Cover each breast with a layer of prosciutto and mozzarella cheese. Roll up each chicken breast, and secure with toothpicks. Roll chicken in flour and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Place chicken rollups in the pan. Cook the chicken while turning frequently until the juices run clear and are the rollups are lightly browned. Remove chicken from the pan, remove the toothpicks and set aside. Deglaze the pan with the marsala wine, add mushrooms and chicken stock and reduce sauce until thickened. Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve immediately.

You should choose me for chef of the day because I am a guy who can cook really great. I learned from my mother. My girlfriend says I have a sexy way around the kitchen. I cook dinner for her all the time even though she is an awsome cook herself. The reciepe I will make for my favorite morning news cast is:
"Stuffed Butter-Nut Squash".
*First I will pick my best butternut squash from my garden.
*I will cut it in half and bake for 45 minutes until fork tender in 350 degree oven.
*Remove cooked squash from shell.
*Set aside shell and squash.
*In sautee pan I will sautee one onion until translucent then add ground sausage meat(hot or sweet)until browned.
*Combine sausage and onion with squash, add two eggs, 2 cups of cubed seven grain bread, 2 cups cubed mozzarella cheese, a pinch of salt & pepper.
*Mix well.
*Then stuff shells with mixture.
*Then bake for 45 minutes on 350 degrees.

I know this receipe is a top contender because it is the perfect autumn dish. I clean the kitchen when I do the cooking.
Please pick me.
