GRILLED STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

(Serves 4)

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper

3 cups Italian bread, crust removed and broken into small pieces

3 oz. mortadella, chopped

2 TB. chopped parsley

1 garlic clove, chopped

Pinch of nutmeg

2 eggs

4 oz. pancetta or bacon, thinly sliced

Olive oil

Heat charcoal fire, gas grill, or stovetop grill.

Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2-inch.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

To prepare the stuffing, combine the bread, mortadella, parsley, garlic, nutmeg and eggs in a bowl, and knead the mixture together with your hands.

Divide the stuffing into 4 equal portions.

Place one portion on each breast near the edge and rollup.

Wrap a pancetta or bacon slice around each roll.

Brush the rolls with olive oil.

Place on grill and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
