Points®

Total time: 50 min • Prep: 25 min • Cook: 23 min • Serves: 4 • Difficulty: Easy

This dish borrows robust, herby flavours from a classic Roman pork recipe. If you don’t want to pound the chicken, purchase chicken breast cutlets.

Ingredients

Fennel seed

¾ tsp(s)

Crushed red pepper flakes

¼ tsp(s), divided

Garlic

2 clove(s), large, crushed with garlic press or minced

Rosemary

2 tsp(s), finely chopped

Fresh sage

1 tsp(s), finely chopped

Kosher salt

½ tsp(s), divided

Black pepper

¼ pinch(es), divided

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

1 pound(s), four 4oz halves

Prosciutto

1½ oz, thinly sliced (about 2 thin slices, halved)

Uncooked baby broccoli

1 pound(s), trimmed, halved lengthwise if stalks thick

Olive oil

2 tsp(s)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Place rack in middle of oven. Coat a small shallow baking dish and a small rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.

2

Toast fennel seeds and 1/8 tsp pepper flakes in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute; transfer to a plate and let cool. Finely grind spices in a spice mill (or use a mortar and pestle); transfer to a small bowl. Add garlic, rosemary, sage, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper; toss to combine.

3

Using flat side of a meat mallet, pound each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, working from thickest part of breast outward, until 1/8-inch-thick (see Notes).

4

Remove and discard top piece of plastic wrap. Divide half of garlic mixture among chicken breasts; spread in an even layer. Fold in bottom and sides of each piece of chicken; roll up (discard bottom pieces of plastic). Place rolled chicken, seam side down, in prepared dish. Cover with prosciutto; spoon remaining garlic mixture over top.

5

On prepared baking sheet, toss together broccolini, oil, remaining 1/4 tsp salt and remaining 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes; in single layer.

6

Bake chicken and broccolini on middle rack until chicken is tender and no longer pink, 16-18 minutes, and broccolini is tender, 20-22 minutes.

7

Serving size: 1 rolled chicken breast and 3-4 stalks broccolini
