CRISP STUFFED CHICKEN IN MARSALA SAUCE
I love chicken Marsala sauce, but I am not a fan of the soggy chicken that usually goes along with it. This recipe is my interpretation of chicken Marsala. One taste and you will never go back to the Old World version. Serve over bow-tie pasta or canned white potatoes.

ITALIAN STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WITH A MARSALA SAUCE
Yet another experiment and another success I am pleased to say. This is very easy to do and tastes delicious, the only fiddly thing is tying it with the kitchen string and I hate that anyway. Well actually that's not entirely true, it is more if I am stuffing something with cheese as you have to get the string as tight as possible to stop the cheese from melting out. Anyway enough about kitchen string and more about the dish. Feel free to serve it anyway you want I served mine over celeriac mash which was a really lovely accompaniment, but regular mash would be fine, or just vegetables if that is what you are in the mood for. I only made this for 2 so I hope I have guessed right on the amount of cheese, please adjust if this is not enough.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the cheese stuffing. Use a kitchen knife to make a butterfly cut through the thickest part of the chicken breasts, creating two halves that are connected in the middle. Place the breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap, then use a kitchen mallet to pound the breasts until they reach an even thickness of ¼-inch to ½-inch. Lay the breasts on a plate and place stuffing on one of the breast halves. Continue adding stuffing, dividing evenly among the breasts. Flatten the stuffing gently and fold the other half over to sandwich the stuffing. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add olive oil and heat through. Put the flour in a shallow plate. Season it with salt and pepper as desired. Dredge the stuffed chicken breasts in the flour carefully. Be sure to shake off the excess. Place the coated chicken breasts in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides. Take the chicken out of the pan and lay the pieces in a baking dish. Put the dish in the oven and bake the chicken for 10 to 20 minutes or until juices run clear. In the same saucepan, add the onions, stirring to loosen the drippings. Cook for two minutes over medium heat, then add the mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes until onions are soft.
