Minnesota Chicken

For stuffing, in a medium bowl stir together the wild rice, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, roasted garlic, rosemary, and, if desired, parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Place each chicken piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Remove plastic wrap. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the stuffing into the center of each chicken piece. Fold in bottom and sides; roll up. Secure with wooden toothpicks.

In a large skillet cook chicken on all sides in hot butter over medium heat until brown. Transfer chicken to a 2-quart rectangular baking dish. Set aside the skillet for sauce.

Bake chicken in a 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Discard toothpicks.

Meanwhile, prepare the Red Pepper Sauce. To serve, cut each chicken roll into slices. If desired, garnish with fresh chives. Spoon the sauce over chicken.
