Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in top position (use top and middle for 4 servings). Wash and dry produce. Dice potatoes into ½-inch pieces. Place in a medium pot with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, 15-20 minutes. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid; drain and return potatoes to pot. Meanwhile, trim green beans if needed. Zest and halve lemon.
2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with salt and pepper. Lay two slices of prosciutto side by side on a flat surface. Tightly roll prosciutto around one piece of chicken. Repeat with remaining prosciutto and chicken.
3. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add wrapped chicken; sear until browned and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to one side of a baking sheet. Roast on top rack for 5 minutes (you’ll add green beans then). For 4 servings, spread chicken out across entire sheet; roast on top rack until cooked through, 15-17 minutes.
4. Once chicken has roasted 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss green beans on empty side with a large drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest and salt. For 4 servings, leave chicken roasting and toss green beans on a second sheet; roast on middle rack. Return to top rack until chicken is cooked through and green beans are tender, 10-12 minutes. If chicken is done first, remove from sheet and continue roasting beans. Transfer chicken to a cutting board; once cool enough, slice crosswise.
5. Meanwhile, finely chop chives. To pot with drained potatoes, add sour cream, half the chives, 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings) and as much truffle seasoning as you like. Mash until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Heat the pan used for chicken over medium-high heat. Add stock concentrate, ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings) and lemon juice to taste. Cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat; stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4), salt and pepper. Divide chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans between plates. Top chicken with sauce and remaining chives. Serve.

Recipe Tips

FAQ

Can I use chicken breasts instead of cutlets?

Yes, but you may need to pound them to an even thickness for even cooking. Adjust roasting time as needed.

What can I substitute for truffle seasoning?

Finely chopped truffle or a drizzle of truffle oil can be used, but start with a small amount as flavors are strong.

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

The mashed potatoes can be made a day ahead and reheated. The chicken is best cooked fresh, but you can wrap it in prosciutto and refrigerate until ready to sear.
