CRISPY CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH MUSHROOMS AND GOAT CHEESE
Steps:
- For the chicken: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, toss in the shallots, season with salt and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Toss the chicken livers into the pan, stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms, stir to combine and season with salt. Cook the mushrooms until they are soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushroom mixture is almost dry. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Transfer the cooled mushroom mixture to a medium bowl, add the goat cheese and chives and mix until it is a homogeneous mixture. Put the mushroom mixture in a disposable piping bag and reserve.
- Using a paring knife or boning knife, make an incision in the thick end of each chicken breast. Insert the knife all the way into the chicken breast and slide it back and forth to create a pocket. Try not to poke the knife through the top or bottom of the chicken.
- Squeeze the mushroom filling into each chicken breast.
- In 3 separate wide, shallow containers, set up a standard breading procedure: one container of flour, one with the beaten egg mixture and one with the panko.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt. Using one hand for wet things and one hand for dry things, dredge each chicken breast in the flour. Dip in the egg wash and then pack panko onto each chicken breast. Lay the chicken breasts on a sheet tray and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Set up a tray lined with paper towels. Take the chicken breasts out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Work in batches if all the chicken breasts do not fit in the pan at the same time. Cook the chicken until well browned on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the browned chicken and blot it on the paper towels; season with salt immediately. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- When all the chicken has been browned and blotted, place the chicken breasts on a wire rack set over a sheet tray and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes more in the oven.
- For the sauce: Meanwhile, ditch the fat from the pan and add the wine. Reduce the wine by half. Add half the chicken stock and reduce that by half. Add the remaining chicken stock and reduce that by half also (this will take a little time so be patient).
- Taste the reduced stock and season with salt if needed. Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter.
- Plate the chicken and spoon the pan sauce over the chicken.

CHICKEN AND ORZO STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS
Quite some time ago I tried an incredible stuffed mushroom dish at an Italian restaurant. This version takes advantage of precooked chicken for faster prep. There really is no substitute for the demi glace, although homemade is an option, I purchased mine at a local kitchen store. The quantity below will full two large mushroom caps or four medium mushroom caps.

Stir in orzo and add 1 cup chicken broth, demi glace, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Cook and stir until liquid is absorbed and add the next 1/2 cup chicken broth, about 5 minutes. Repeat until orzo pasta is tender - you may not need all the chicken broth. Add spinach during the last minute of cooking.

Place a couple of tablespoons of the chicken mixture on a cabbage leaf, fold and roll leaf around filling. Place seam-side down in pan on cabbage and onions. Repeat with rest of leaves and filling, placing cabbage rolls snugly in pan. Add wine and stock, bring to a simmer, cover and cook gently 40 minutes.

CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH MUSHROOMS & PROVOLONE
Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 500°F. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. Coarsely grate cheese and set aside in a medium bowl. Pulse mushrooms and shallot in a food processor with thyme, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until finely chopped. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, add garlic, then sauté mushroom mixture, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir into cheese (some cheese will melt). Place remaining butter in saute pan to melt (no heat). Pat chicken dry. Place one sixth of cheese mixture (some filling will be visible) on half of each breast and fold over. Put chicken in baking pan and brush remaining butter over chicken. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Roast until cooked through and cheese is melted (filling will ooze), 20 to 25 minutes.
Tips:
- Select Fresh Mushrooms: Choose firm and plump mushrooms with smooth, unblemished caps. Avoid any with signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Clean Mushrooms Gently: Use a soft, damp cloth or paper towel to gently wipe the mushrooms clean. Avoid rinsing them under running water, as this can make them waterlogged.
- Remove Mushroom Stems: Twist or gently scoop out the mushroom stems, leaving the caps intact. Finely chop the stems for use in the stuffing.
- Stuff Mushrooms Evenly: When filling the mushroom caps with stuffing, be sure to distribute it evenly so that each mushroom has a balanced flavor.
- Bake at High Temperature: Bake the stuffed mushrooms at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) to quickly brown the tops and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the mushrooms while they are baking. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the mushrooms and the stuffing used.
- Serve Hot: Stuffed mushrooms are best served hot out of the oven. They can be garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for added flavor and visual appeal.
Conclusion:
Chicken-stuffed mushrooms are a delicious and versatile appetizer or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their savory filling and crispy, browned tops, these mushrooms are sure to be a hit at any gathering. The combination of tender chicken, flavorful stuffing, and juicy mushrooms creates a delightful culinary experience that is both satisfying and memorable.
