Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to ensure even thickness. Place a slice of Provolone and a slice of lox on half of each breast. Fold the other half of the chicken breast over the cheese and lox and secure with a toothpick.
Pour the bread crumbs onto a sheet of waxed paper or a large plate and set aside.
In a shallow bowl, mix the beaten egg with the milk and buttermilk.
Dip the chicken pockets into the egg mixture to coat, then roll them in the bread crumbs for a light coat. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken breasts and brown on both sides. You may need to remove the toothpick for easier browning.
Place the browned chicken breasts on a broiler pan sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees, or until chicken is no longer pink and chicken juices run clear.
While the chicken bakes, cook and drain the linguine noodles. Butter them with one-half stick of butter and sprinkle generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Spread the noodles across the center of a large serving platter.
Heat the beans in a pan with the cashews and pimento. Ring the platter with the green beans and remove the platter to a 250-degree oven, if possible, to keep warm.
When the chicken is done, arrange it diagonally across the noodles.
If you feel the chicken breasts are too large for individual servings, slice the breasts into diagonal strips and arrange them across the noodles.
Serve with soft breadsticks and individual garlic butter cups to 4 hearty eaters.
