1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2
Sear the Chicken
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3
Cook the 'Nduja
In the same skillet, add the 'nduja sausage and cook for 2-3 minutes until it starts to melt and integrate into the pan juices.
4
Make the Cream Sauce
Add mascarpone cheese to the skillet with the 'nduja, stirring continuously until well combined and creamy. Reduce the heat to low.
5
Prepare the Broccolini
In a separate pot, bring water to a boil and add the broccolini. Blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and set aside.
6
Combine Everything
Add the seared chicken breasts back to the skillet, spooning the 'nduja-mascarpone sauce over them. Add the blanched broccolini around the chicken.
7
Add Mozzarella and Bake
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken and broccolini. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8
Drizzle with Honey
Once out of the oven, drizzle honey over the chicken and serve warm.
