Nutritional values

Chicken filet and ricotta in a strong wholemeal casing provide the body with easily digestible protein. Plenty of vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances strengthen nerves and defences. Dietary fibres get the intestines going.

If you like, you can add a rocket salad to the pasta pockets - it improves the balance in terms of vitality and fibre.

Kitchen utensils

1 large Pot, 1 non-stick Skillet, 1 Baking sheet, 2 Bowls, 1 Cutting board, 1 Large knife, 1 Small knife, 1 Tablespoon, 1 Peeler, 1 Brush, 1 Pizza cutter, 1 Pasta machine, 1 Plastic wrap, 1 Hand mixer, 1 Slotted spoon, 1 Wooden spoon, 1 Fine grater, 1 Plate, 1 small Bowl, 1 Fork, 1 Pot (heavy-bottomed), 1 Meat grinder

Preparation steps

1.
Dumplings with Chicken Filling preparation step 1

In a bowl, whisk together both types of flour. Add 4 eggs, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 large pinch of salt and 3-4 tablespoons of water. Knead with the dough hook of a hand mixer into a smooth, firm dough (add more water if necessary).

2.
Dumplings with Chicken Filling preparation step 2

Sprinkle working surface with flour and knead the dough vigorously with lightly floured hands for 5 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour in refrigerator.

3.

Toast the pine nuts in a dry non-stick skillet until light brown. Allow to cool on a plate and chop roughly with a large knife.

4.

Rinse chicken breast fillet and pat dry. Chop very finely with a large knife or meat grinder.

5.

Rinse orange with hot water. Dry and finely grate the peel. Finely grate Parmesan. In a bowl, combine orange zest, pine nuts, chicken fillet, ricotta and 1 egg. Season well with salt and pepper and mix thoroughly.

6.
Dumplings with Chicken Filling preparation step 6

Remove pasta dough from plastic wrap and cut into 4 pieces. Roll out each portion with a pasta machine, using several successively thiner passes, into thin sheets of dough. Between each pass, sprinkle dough with a little flour so it does not stick to the machine.

7.

Spread out dough sheets on a lightly floured work surface and cover with plastic wrap. Separate remaining egg. Whisk egg white in a small bowl (save yolk for another use).

8.

Using a spoon, scoop the chicken and ricotta mixture in small portions and place 3–4 cm (approximately 1 1/4–1 1/2 inches) apart on half of the dough sheets. Brush the spaces between filling portions with the beaten egg white.

9.

Place another dough sheet precisely over the sheet with the filling. Flatten the dough over the filling and gently press the dough together to seal in the filling, making sure that no air remains in the dumplings.

10.

11.

12.

14.
