Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

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 only made the sauce (and used it with a chicken cordon bleu from this site. I the trick is to use WHOLE milk (which the recipe fails to tell you to gain the thickness desired. HOWEVER, even with whole milk the sauce is bland. I needed to add some garlic oil and a dash of liquid smoke to give it some flavor. The consistancy is great for a topping sauce, though. Just needs to be kicked up a bit, but it's fun because you can really work with it.

    For the chicken and sauce-I added a dash of worchestershire and a dash of nutmeg to the sauce, didn't add the cheese, layered it in a casserole with spaghetti and then put swiss cheese(my husband isn't crazy about asiago on top. I baked for 20 min at 350 and it turned out great!!

    This rating is only for the broccolini with asiago sauce. It was very tasty but my sauce did not thicken after addition of the milk. Next time I may try using even amounts of flour and butter.
