Preparation
1
Prep

  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F.
    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high (use same for 4 servings). Wash and dry all produce. 
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Peel, then mince or grate the garlic. 

2
Cook filling

  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) butter, half the spinach and half the garlic. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until spinach has wilted. Season with salt and pepper. 
  • Transfer spinach to a plate and spread out evenly. Allow spinach to cool for 2-3 min. 

3
Stuff chicken

  • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  • On a clean cutting board, cover each chicken breast with plastic wrap. Using a rolling pin or heavy-bottomed pan, pound each chicken breast until 1/4-inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide spinach over each chicken breast, then sprinkle with breadcrumbs and Parmesan.
  • Starting at the bottom of each chicken breast, roll up and over the filling. 
  • Secure the seam with one or two skewers. 

4
Cook chicken

  • Reheat the same pan from step 2 over medium-high. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then add chicken involtini, skewer-sides up. Pan-fry for 2-3 min, until golden. 
  • Remove the pan from heat. Transfer involtinis to a baking sheet, skewer-side down. Bake in the middle of the oven for 10-12 min, until chicken is cooked through.**

5
Cook pasta and sauce

  • To the boiling water, add linguine. Cook for 10-13 min, until tender but still firm to the bite. Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water. Strain linguine, then return to the pot, off heat.
  • When the pasta is almost done, reheat the same pan over medium. When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) butter, then remaining spinach and remaining garlic. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until tender. 
  • Add pesto, cream, reserved pasta water and linguine. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until combined. 

6
Finish and serve

  • When chicken is done, gently remove the skewers, then thinly slice. 
  • Divide linguine between plates. 
  • Top with the chicken involtini.
