Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Light Pan Sauce and Braised Celery





4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves


Shiitake Mushroom Stuffing, recipe follows


1/2 cup finely chopped shallots


1 teaspoon minced garlic


1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme


1/4 cup Madeira


2 cups chicken stock





Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.


Place the chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and pound, with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels.





Place 1 ball of mushroom stuffing along 1/2 of each chicken piece. Tuck the short ends in and, starting at 1 long side, roll up the chicken into a tight cylinder. Fasten with toothpicks. Season with salt and pepper.





In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the stuffed chicken and cook, turning, until brown on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in the oven. Bake until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Alternately, cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes.





Remove from the oven. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add the shallots to the pan juices and cook, over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the Madeira and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken stock, return to a boil, and cook, until reduced by half, about 6 minutes.





Add the chicken and any juices to the pan and cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 1 minute. Serve with Braised Celery.





Mushroom Stuffing:


1 tablespoon olive oil


12 ounces assorted mushrooms, stems trimmed and coarsely chopped


1/2 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper


2 tablespoons minced shallots


2 teaspoons minced garlic


2 tablespoons dry white wine


2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan


2 tablespoons dried fine bread crumbs


2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley


1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil


1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano


Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are wilted and begin to caramelize. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook, stirring to loosen any browned bits in the pan, and until the liquid has almost all evaporated, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, basil, and oregano, and process on high speed to a thick paste.





Transfer to a bowl and divide into 4 equal portions. Roll each into firm balls and use to stuff the chicken breasts.





Yield: about 1 cup





Braised Celery:


1 tablespoon olive oil


1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced


2 teaspoons minced garlic


1 head celery, ends trimmed and cut into 4-inch lengths


1 1/2 cups chicken broth


1/2 cup dry white wine or vermouth


1 bay leaf


1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper


1/4 teaspoon salt


2 tablespoons minced parsley


2 tablespoons lightly toasted chopped walnuts


In a large, non-stick skillet, add the olive oil, onions, garlic, and celery. Add the chicken broth, Vermouth, bay leaf, salt, and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Simmer, turning once, until the celery is tender, about 30 minutes.





Remove from the heat and transfer the celery to serving plates. Spoon a little cooking liquid over each serving, and sprinkle with the parsley and toasted walnuts. Serve.

Here is my fav...I dont really do recipes just by sight.





Take some chicken breasts cut them almost in half creating a pocket, place 2 slices of provolone cheese from the deli counter inside...Put Broccoli Rabe on the top and wrap the whole thing with a piece of prosuitto, bake for 1/2 hour or so at 350 YUM!!








The broccoli Rabe should be sauteed with oil, garlic and red pepper flakes before hand!
My Family and I love this...





I flatten out the chicken breast and stuff it with.....





I cook rice and add chopped Fresh spinach, cheese(any kind you like),


Fresh Garlic and salt.





Add to the center of the chicken breast and roll up and then brown in a pan then add to baking dish with some chicken broth and chopped garlic. Bake about 25 min. I then remove the chicken broth to a pan and thicken and spoon over the chicken...
