Ingredients

1 tb butter

5 tb olive oil

1/2 cup tomato sauce

8 oz lump crabmeat

8 oz mozarella cheese, shredded

3 boneless and skinless chicken breasts halves, flattened to 1/4-inch thickness and halved

coarse kosher salt

pepper

3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped

3 cloves garlic, fine chopped

3/4 cup Marsala wine

1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil

cooked and buttered flat noodles

Directions

Heat the butter and 1 tb olive oil in a 10-inch skillet. Stir in the tomato sauce and cook for 1 - 2 minutes. Stir in the crab and gently blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend the hot crab/tomato mixture into a bowl containing the shredded mozarella. Set aside.

Spread each chicken scallopini with a thin layer of the tomato/crab/cheese mixture, leaving a bit of room on the ends. Sprinkle with kosher salt. Roll each scallopini into a tight roll and then tie with two pieces of kitchen string. Dredge in flour.

Add 4 tb olive to the skillet. Lightly brown the chicken rolls, adding additional oil as needed. Remove from the pan and drain.

Add the tomatoes, garlic, Marsala, and basil. Bring to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet and cover. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove the chicken roll-ups from the skillet. Cut the string with kitchen scissors. Turn up the heat on the tomato mixture and thicken. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve the chicken and crab rollups over hot buttered pasta smothered with the tomato-marsala gravy.

(The original recipe calls for 8 oz sliced mushrooms to be sauted before adding the tomato/garlic/basil mixture.)

They are. You just have to be careful to keep the chicken thin and the rolls small. It's easy to make them too large.
