3 tbsp mascarpone
1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 chicken breasts, skin on

  • 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.

A fast and filling, all-in-one chicken dish

Provided by Emma Lewis

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tbsp Homemade pesto (see the recipe in tip section below)
85g mascarpone
4 tbsp olive oil
100g breadcrumb, preferably from day-old bread
175g baby tomatoes, on the vine
handful pine nuts
handful basil leaves

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.

Conclusion:

Mascarpone pesto chicken rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple, fresh ingredients and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and impressive meal on the table in no time.
