New Year is spending quality time with Adam Sandler ! Yes - -for two days we were glued in front of the big screen in our jammies watching the funny guy who refers himself an "egg head" in most of the scenes ... I am not sure how many more to go but we have more than 10 DVDs in our stack --
..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 pepper
HERE'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,
