Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix the mascarpone with the rosemary, garlic and seasoning. Place the chicken breasts on a board and lift, but don't detach, the skin. Put a spoonful of the mascarpone mix under the skin of each breast. Wrap 2 slices of prosciutto around each, as neatly and tightly as you can, to keep the filling enclosed.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan, add the olive oil and quickly brown the chicken on both sides. Transfer to a roasting tin, then finish off in the oven for 15-20 mins until just cooked.
- Add the lemon juice to the roasting tin and stir over the heat, scraping off any crispy bits. Spoon the juices over the chicken and serve with potatoes and green beans.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Use a small sharp knife to make a slit along the side of each chicken breast to form a pocket. Mix together the pesto and mascarpone, then carefully spoon a quarter of the mixture into each chicken breast and smooth over the opening to seal.
- Brush a little oil, about 1 tsp, all over each chicken breast and season well. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a large plate and season. Place each breast on the plate and press all over with the breadcrumbs. Place in a lightly oiled shallow baking dish along with the tomatoes (kept together on the vine in a couple of bunches). Drizzle over the remaining oil.
- Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until the chicken starts to turn golden and is cooked through. Scatter over the pine nuts and cook for 2 mins more. Sprinkle with basil leaves and serve with new potatoes or crusty bread.

Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor and texture, use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible. High-quality mascarpone cheese, pesto, and chicken will make a world of difference in the final dish.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or heavy saucepan to flatten the chicken breasts. Just be sure to cover the chicken with plastic wrap before pounding to prevent splattering.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Cook it just until it is cooked through, or it will become dry and tough. You can check if the chicken is done by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have toothpicks, you can use small skewers or even rosemary sprigs to secure the chicken rolls.
- Serve the chicken rolls immediately, or they will start to dry out. You can also make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
