4 Serving(s)
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp. Montreal steak seasoning, divided
- 2 (12 oz.) bags cleaned green beans
- 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1 oz. feta cheese
- 2 (8 oz.) chicken breasts
- 2 oz. prepared pesto
- 4 oz. fontina cheese, grated
- 4 slices prosciutto di parma
- 4 rosemary sprigs
- 4 oz. Italian seasoned panko
- 2 oz. butter, divided
- 2 (9 oz.) pkgs. fresh linguini
- 8 oz. heavy cream
- 1.5 oz. Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp. black pepper, ground
- 5 oz. pecorino romano, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place large stock pot full of cool water on stove on high heat.
- Toss green beans in 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon of steak seasoning, and feta. Place in an even layer on a sheet tray and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
- Starting at the thickest part, cut each chicken breast almost all the way in half and fold back like a book. Lay the cut chicken out flat on a cutting board and cover with a piece of parchment paper. Using a meat tenderizer or a cast iron skillet, pound the chicken breasts to flatten, focusing on the thicker areas. The goal is to get the chicken to an even thickness.
- Remove the parchment paper from chicken. Coat both sides of the chicken breasts using 1 tablespoon steak seasoning per chicken breast. Then, cover the facing up side of each chicken evenly with pesto.
- Dividing between the two chicken breasts, sprinkle half of the fontina cheese on top of the pesto. Then add sliced prosciutto, 2 slices per breast, on top of cheese. Add remaining cheese evenly on top of prosciutto.
- Starting from one long side of chicken, roll chicken tightly into a cylinder with the prosciutto on the inside. Keep the seam of the chicken face down on the cutting board so it stays rolled up until ready to skewer.
- Using the fresh rosemary sprigs, skewer the chicken using 2 skewers along the seam to help hold it closed. Repeat rolling process with the other chicken breast and remaining rosemary sprigs.
- Evenly coat both rolled chicken breasts in panko.
- Add 1 ounce butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet and brown all sides of the breaded chicken over medium to high heat. Place skillet with browned chicken in oven with beans to bake 10-15 minutes.
- As the water reaches a boil, add pasta and cook according to package directions, approximately 3-5 minutes stirring frequently to avoid clumping.
- While pasta is cooking, add heavy cream and dijon to a small sauce pan and heat over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Drain cooked pasta into colander, reserving some of the water, approximately 1 cup.
- Add remaining 1 ounce of butter to a 10” skillet along with 2 teaspoons coarse black pepper over low heat, do not burn.
- Add pasta back from the colander into the 10” skillet and to coat the noodles in butter mixture. Add romano cheese a little at a time (1/3 of total each addition) and stir to combine well. Add more pasta cooking water as needed to make a creamy “sauce."
- Remove the cooked chicken and cooked beans from the oven.
- Serve by dividing the pasta and green beans between 4 plates. Cut each breast in half, then place the chicken on a small pool of sauce under each breast. Gently drizzle any remaining sauce over the top of the chicken.
