Ingredients
1/2 cup hot water
Handful golden raisins
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 cup flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 slices white sandwich bread, torn
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup dry white wine
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, a few sprigs, leaves chopped
Directions
Pour very hot tap water into a small bowl. Add raisins and plump 5 minutes.
Lightly toast nuts in a small skillet over medium low heat.
Drain raisins and pat dry. Place raisins, nuts, parsley, lemon zest, garlic, torn bread and cheese into processor and pulse into a stuffing.
Butterfly the chicken open by cutting into and across the breast but not all the way through. Pound out the cutlets and season the chicken with salt and pepper. Fill the breasts with stuffing, roll and secure with toothpicks.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the brasciole all over 7 to 8 minutes, remove and set aside. Deglaze pan with wine, scraping up the drippings. Stir in tomatoes and tarragon, add chicken back, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Slice and serve.

The first time I made this, I thought serving it with spaghetti would be a good idea. I figured since it had a red sauce that pasta makes sense - I was wrong. Rice pilaf is a much better side!
I also, didn't have toothpicks either time making this. I felt as though it held together well even without them. Just make sure you roll the chicken tight enough.
I followed this recipe to a T and it turned out really well. I love any excuse to bust out my food processor :) I did also use a non-stick pan, it helps with making the sauce. The wine will deglaze the pan better.
Happy Cooking :)
