Ingredients
6 chicken breast
2 tsp dried sage
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp minced garlic
6 slices ham
1/3 cup flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Directions
PLACE A CHICKEN BREAST between two sheets of wax paper or plastic
wrap and pound to an even thickness of 1/4-inch with the bottom of a
small skillet or the blunt side of a meat mallet. Repeat with
remaining chicken breasts. Mix the sage with the salt, pepper and
garlic. Rub the mixture on one side of the chicken breasts. Place a
slice of ham over the seasoning, and then roll the chicken breast
into a spiral. Secure the spiral closed with toothpicks or by tying
them with string. Rub the rolls lightly with flour, shaking off any
excess. Pour the oil into a skillet, and heat it over medium heat.
Add the chicken rolls, being careful not to crowd the pan, and cook
until golden brown on the bottom. Turn with tongs, and cook until all
sides are brown, and the chicken is cooked in the center, about 15 to
20 minutes. Drain on paper towels, and serve immediately. Serves 6.
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of `recipes` back into distant history, in truth as far into history as early Egypt, and quite possibly further than that. In practice though, generally, these ancient cookbooks were just primitive pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
Progressing into The time of the roman empire 25BC a Roman scholar, called Apicius, assembled some scrolls which described recipes cooked by wealthy Romans. He recounts how the roman meals were separated into hors d`oeuvres, main meal and afters, something that is very familiar to us today. This early Roman chef tells us how the early Romans made use of many different herbs and spices, including a few that are still present in modern kitchens such as thyme, rue and asafoetida. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought us many new foods and herbs from middle-east cuisine, including spices like basil and rosemary. These new culinary innovations caused an explosion in manuscripts on cookery, some of which still exist in private collections. By the time we get to the 20th century, recipe books were starting to become popular mostly as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having increased free time and a general increase in wealth. |
