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
