Has been a while since I have done a cook from my little Italian gal Giada. So many of her cooks work really well on the Egg and are different than the usual fair. Hear's the recipe:
Ingredients

* 6 (3-ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded to evenly flatten
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper
* 6 paper-thin slices prosciutto
* 1 (10-ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
* 1 (14-ounce) can low-salt chicken broth
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

Place the chicken cutlets flat on the work surface. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Lay 1 slice of prosciutto atop each chicken cutlet.

Squeeze the frozen spinach to remove the excess water. Season the spinach with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, toss the spinach with 1 tablespoon of oil to coat.

Arrange an even, thin layer of spinach atop the prosciutto slices. Sprinkle the Parmesan evenly over each. Beginning at the short tapered end, roll up each chicken cutlet as for a jellyroll. Secure with a toothpick.

Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook just until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add the chicken broth and lemon juice, and scrape the browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring the liquid to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer until the chicken is just cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter. Simmer the cooking liquid over high heat until it is reduced to about 2/3 cup, about 5 minutes. Season the cooking liquid with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove toothpicks from the chicken. Drizzle the reduced cooking liquid over the chicken and serve immediately.

Also made Strawberry bread:

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar
1 cup of fresh cut cranberries
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup of flour
1 orange
2 Tbs butter or margarine
boiling hot water
1 egg, slightly beaten




Procedure:
1 To the juice and rind of 1 orange, add butter or margarine and enough boiling water to equal 3/4 cup of liquid. Let cool. Add dry ingredients. Add slightly beaten egg. Mix well. In a separate bowl, mix cranberries, walnuts, and flour. Add to above batter. Mix well, batter will be lumpy and stiff. Bake at 350 degrees in a greased pan for 1 hour or until pick in center comes out clean.

And some tomatoe and caper spread:

Tomato-Caper Bruschetta:

Lots of pics but trying to add a little value to my post and show how things are done for me at least to some of the new folks.
Put my bread on 1st and used "smoke rocks" to create a little air space between the platsetter and the pan to keep it from burning as bad on the Small.

Next made up the Caper sause and put it on the Small. Only thing different is I really simmered this for about and hour and a half at 300 to reduce the tomatoes down with presimmon wood the whole time.

Next the chicken. Put chicken breast between Seran Wrap and beat it flat then layered the filling.

Just added a little white wine and EVOO to the cast iron and tossed the shrimp in the pot after coating them with Zatteran blackening, some DP's Tusumie Spin, limon zest and EVOO.
