Recipe by Anna Watson Carl Wrapping prosciutto in chicken is never a bad idea.

Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and cut into pieces 1/2 c. grated Parmesan, plus more for serving 1/2 c. pine nuts Juice of 1/2 lemon (2 tbsp.) 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 8 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided kosher salt Black pepper 4 chicken breasts 4 slices prosciutto Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water for broccoli. Boil broccoli rabe until bright green and tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer rabe into ice water and let cool completely, then drain. Transfer blanched broccoli rabe to a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Add Parmesan, pine nuts, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and 2 tbsp. olive oil. Pulse several times to combine, then slowly add 4 tbsp. more olive oil until a smooth paste forms. Season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and wrap each in a slice of prosciutto. Heat remaining olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown, 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer pan to oven and bake 15 minutes more, or until chicken is cooked through (i. e. the internal temperature registers 165 degrees F). Serve chicken with a generous dollop of pesto and garnish with Parmesan and lemon wedges.
