How to Make Pan Fried Chicken With Mascarpone

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Carefully loosen the skin on each chicken breast to create a pocket.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the chopped rosemary, mascarpone cheese, salt, and pepper.
  4. Divide the mascarpone mixture evenly, placing half into each chicken breast pocket.
  5. Season the outside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven and place it over medium heat.
  10. Add the fresh lemon juice to the skillet, stirring to combine with any leaked mascarpone and chicken juices.
  11. Turn the chicken breasts to coat them in the sauce.
  12. Serve the chicken immediately, spooning the pan sauce over the top. (Optional) Serve over wilted garlic spinach.
