Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 to 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, both for brushing and cooking chicken
2 cloves crushed garlic
4 large flour tortillas, about 10 to 12 inches
1 ball fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
12 leaves fresh basil, shredded
2 vine ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 bundle broccolini, trimmed of 1 inch of stem end
2 tablespoons butter
1 rounded tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup grated Asiago cheese

Steps:

  • For appetizers, heat oil in a small pot with garlic until it bubbles, simmer a minute. Brush a skillet with garlic oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the first tortilla and blister it 30 seconds, flip and cover half of the surface with arranged layers of mozzarella, basil and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and fold over the quesadilla, cook 30 seconds on each side to set. Remove from pan and repeat. In less than 10 minutes, you'll have 4 half moons (mezza lunas). Cut into quarters and serve.
  • Pour a couple tablespoons of remaining oil into a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken 6 minutes on each side, turning once, until golden and juices run clear. While chicken cooks, heat 1-inch water over high heat in small high sides skillet, to a boil. Add salt and broccolini to the water and cook 3 to 4 minutes, drain and reserve. Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a small sauce pot, stir flour into melted butter, cook 1 minute then whisk in milk and cook to thicken, about 2 to 3 minutes, stir in cheese and season with salt and pepper. Serve chicken topped with broccolini and pour sauce over top - in less than 15 minutes you have a low maintenance Chicken Divan!

I wouldn't recommend the caprese mezza luna. The crescent rolls were too dry and the filling was bland.

The chicken and broccolini with Asiago sauce was easy to make, but it was a bit bland. I had to add some extra seasoning to make it more flavorful.

I tried the caprese mezza luna and it was just okay. I think I prefer traditional caprese salad.

The chicken and broccolini with Asiago sauce was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but my husband loved it.

I'm not a big fan of chicken and broccolini, but this recipe changed my mind. The Asiago sauce is amazing and really makes the dish.
