..from "Wedding Singer" to "50 First Dates" to "Longest Yard" to "Happy Madison" to "Happy Gilmore" to "Longest Yard"...blah blah..I lost track...but there's more tonight...
This is a new way of cooking chicken! We are taking a break from the long line of antipasto we served last night and a real dinner composed of cornbread, au gratin potatoes, salad and this lovely chicken dish will surely be a welcome treat tonight. The kitchen smells like rosemary and basil --Yum!
Mario Batali's version: Page 311
Maria B's version:
I have left over ham so I used them instead of the prosciutto di parma. Also I substituted fresh herbs with the dried version instead.
1 cup chopped ham
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup chopped provolone
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped italian parsley
1 tbsp dried basil
1 tbsp dried rosemary
grated zest of 2 lemons
8 chicken legs deboned
salt and pepperHERE'S HOW:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- In a bowl, combine ham, bread crumbs, provolone, eggs parsley, basil, rosemary and lemon zest.
- Lay chicken and season with salt and pepper
- Place filling on top and roll chicken. Seal using a kitchen twine
- Roast the chicken for 35-45 minutes
- Slice and serve












Very nice and I love Adam Sandler. My best friend went to Mario Batali;s resturant for NYeve and it was 260 for two people, she said it was awesome. They went to times square this year. A month ahead for reservations...don't know if you ever wanted to hear all about that but thought I would share her excitement with a fan....
Anyway, my favorite movie is 50 first dates I love Drew Barrymore, and he is hilarious...we watch Christmas vacation and any Christmas movies we can stay up...this was such a cute post with the family, the girls and you are all gorgeous.....thanks for sharing :)

Besides Adam Sandler, BTW, loved him since SNL days with the "Opera Man", and "Cajun Man" these stuffed chicken legs look great.
Thank you,
