Mushroom Herb Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using a paring knife, make an incision in the side of each chicken breast, passing the knife though horizontally to make a slit but not cutting through the other side of the breast. With the paring knife inserted, rotate the knife to carve out a bit more space and create a pocket. Season the outside and inside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Lightly beat the egg white in a bowl to break it up, then add the goat cheese, parsley, tarragon, shallots, mustard and lemon zest and mix until incorporated. Transfer the mixture to a resealable plastic bag (or piping bag). Snip off a corner of the plastic bag and pipe the mixture into each chicken breast until filled.
• Heat the oil in a large ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until hot and glistening. Add the chicken breasts skin-side down and cook until the skin turns a dark golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the butter, garlic and thyme, then flip and transfer the pan to the oven; cook the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Boil the kettle, tip the mushrooms into a small bowl, pour over boiling water to just cover, then leave to soak for 15 mins. Drain and squeeze out the mushrooms (save and freeze the liquid to make a base for a gravy) and roughly chop.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the shallots and garlic for 3 mins. Turn up the heat, throw in the mushrooms and cook for a few mins more. Add the spinach, turn the heat up to high and cook until wilted and all the liquid has evaporated. Tip into a bowl and leave to cool. Beat in the cheeses and season with loads of pepper and a little salt. Set aside.
• Take the chicken breasts and remove the small fillet from the back. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast then stuff each one with a quarter of the spinach mixture, closing it with the cut-off fillet. Carefully wrap each stuffed chicken breast in a slice of prosciutto and chill until needed. Can be prepared up to a day ahead.
• To cook, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line up the chicken on a baking tray and roast for 20-25 mins until the prosciutto is frazzled at the edges, the cheese is oozing out and the chicken is cooked through.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons flour and stir until blended and paste-like. Stir in sour cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper until combined. Cook and stir until mixture is very thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in Cheddar cheese and cook until it melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and transfer to a pie pan or a square pan. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 1 hour. Cut chilled cheese mixture into 6 "sticks."
• Place 1/2 cup flour in a shallow dish, beaten eggs in another dish, and bread crumbs in a third dish.
• Place a chicken breast in a resealable plastic bag and pound with a wooden mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Season chicken with salt and place a cheese stick in the middle. Roll chicken up like a jelly roll. Dust it in flour, dip it in egg, and then dip it in crumbs. Repeat to flatten, stuff, and bread remaining chicken breasts. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or until ready to cook.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a shallow baking dish with foil.
• Heat olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 30 to 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Steps:

• Sauté the celery, onion and mushrooms for 5 minutes, stir in crumbs, dill, salt and pepper.
• Remove from the heat, cool, add enough egg to moisten.
• Cut pockets into breast as deeply as you can without cutting through.
• Stuff pockets with filling, secure openings with toothpicks.
• Place in a buttered casserole dish, sprinkle with herbs.
• Cover with foil and bake at 170°C for 35 minutes.
• Remove from oven, remove foil, place over medium heat on top of the stove, pour over brandy and light flame (flambé), add cream and allow to bubble.
• Brown under a grill if necessary.
• Serve garnished with bread triangles.

Steps:

• Soften cream cheese and mix in fresh herbs. ( If you use dry herbs use 1 tsp instead of one tablespoon)
• Cut a pocket in each chicken breast.
• Stuff with a heaping tablespoon of herb stuffing.
• Dredge each breast in flour.
• Dip in the egg wash and roll in the bread crumbs.
• In a large skillet add 3 tablespoons of oil, and saute the breasts until browned/ Place the sautéed breasts on a greased baking pan.
• Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or so.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking tray with foil. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika together in a small bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for 1 minute.
• Set aside 1/3 of the mushrooms for garnish; add remaining mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt. Saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Add parsley and pepper, then mix in just enough bread crumbs to bind. Remove from the heat.
• Cut a slit in each chicken breast to form a pocket. Stuff mushroom mixture into each pocket. Season one side of each breast with salt, then with the 1/2 of the spice mixture.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken breasts, seasoned-sides down, in the hot skillet and let them brown for about 2 minutes. Season the tops with the remaining spice mixture, flip, and brown for 2 more minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking tray.
• Spoon reserved mushrooms over the chicken breasts, then pour condensed soup over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
