GOAT CHEESE AND MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS



Goat Cheese and Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breasts image

Provided by Amy Finley

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 pound crimini mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
6 ounces softened goat cheese
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 recipe Mushroom Wine Sauce, recipe follows
1 recipe Sauteed Fingerling Potatoes, recipe follows
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves, for garnish
1 1/2 cups dried shiitake mushrooms
1/4 cup chicken stock
1/4 cup white wine
1 tablespoon butter, cold
2 cups boiling water
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts, 1 by 1, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside.
  • Stem the mushrooms and place the caps and stems separately in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Melt the butter in a medium-sized saute pan over medium-high heat and add the mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms have released their liquid, and saute until all the liquid has evaporated. (This is called a duxelle.) Season well with the salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Smear each chicken breast with some of the goat cheese and top with some of the duxelle. Roll the breast up and tie with the kitchen twine. Season with the salt and pepper. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and sear the chicken on all sides. Continue to saute until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to sit 5 minutes before removing the kitchen twine and slicing each rolled breast into 4 to 5 slices. Top with some of the remaining duxelle and several spoonfuls of the Mushroom Wine Sauce. Serve with the Sauteed Fingerling Potatoes, garnished with the chopped parsley.
  • Place the shiitakes in a mixing bowl and add the boiling water. Allow to sit undisturbed 15 to 20 minutes, until the liquid is richly fragrant and has taken on the earthy flavor of the mushrooms. Strain and reserve the liquid. Discard the mushrooms or reserve for another use. In a small saute pan over medium-high heat, bring the mushroom liquid to a strong boil and reduce by half. Add the wine and chicken stock, reduce by 1/2 again. Remove from heat and add the butter, swirling the pan until the butter is incorporated and the sauce is glossy and shiny. Season with the salt and pepper.
  • Using the mandoline or a knife, slice the potatoes into thin rounds of uniform thickness. Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and saute the potatoes until cooked through with a golden, crispy crust. Season with the salt and pepper.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 16

CHICKEN
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups water
4 sun-dried tomatoes (not oil packed)
4 oz goat cheese
1 tsp fresh rosemary
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 large egg
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
MUSHROOM WINE SAUCE
1 Tbsp olive oil
8 oz sliced button mushrooms
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 Tbsp unsalted butter, cold

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • 2. Pound chicken breasts to flatten to about 1/4-inch thickness; set aside.
  • 3. Bring water to boil in a saucepan. Remove pan from heat, add tomatoes to hot water, and let soak for 5 minutes. Remove tomatoes from water and pat dry with a paper towel, then finely chop the tomatoes.
  • 4. Mix together the chopped tomatoes, goat cheese, rosemary and garlic. Spread equal amounts of the cheese mixture lengthwise over the center of each flattened chicken breast. Fold each chicken breast lengthwise overlapping left and right edges to cover filling in the center and tucking short ends inside. Secure with toothpicks.
  • 5. Place egg in a shallow bowl, and beat well; set aside. Place breadcrumbs in a separate shallow bowl. Roll each rolled chicken breast in the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs until well coated.
  • 6. Place coated chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour melted butter over the chicken breasts. Tilt the baking dish from side to side to allow butter to coat the bottom of the baking dish (to help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan).
  • 7. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly done.
  • 8. Make Mushroom-Wine Sauce while chicken is baking: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and saute for 7 minutes. Add chicken broth and wine, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or unti liquid is reduced to about 1/3 cup. Remove pan from heat and stir in cold butter, stirring frequently until butter is melted.

Tips:

  • Choose the right mushrooms: Baby Bella, Cremini, or White mushrooms work best for this recipe due to their firm texture and mild flavor.
  • Slice the chicken thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you do, the chicken and mushrooms will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the chicken in batches if necessary: Overcrowding the pan will prevent the chicken from browning properly.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the chicken and mushrooms from sticking.
  • Season the chicken and mushrooms generously: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
  • Add the cheese at the end: This will help prevent it from burning.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best when served hot.

Conclusion:

This Mushroom Cheese Chicken is an easy and delicious weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family.
