Makeover Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Mushroom Sauce Food

SIMPLE MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Start by making the mushroom mixture. Chop the mushrooms roughly and pulse until crumbly. Be careful not to puree the mixture.
• In a large pan melt 1 tablespoon of butter and fry the mushrooms with the seasoning over a fairly high heat until all the moisture has been absorbed (about 6 minutes). Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F/ 190 C/ gas mark 5. Lightly grease the bottom of a medium size casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• To make the sauce in a saucepan melt 1.5 teaspoon of butter, add the flour and whisk until smooth. Pour in the milk and continue cooking and whisking until the sauce starts bubbling up. Remove from the heat, whisk in 4 tablespoons of the parmesan and season to taste. Set aside.
• Cut each chicken breast lengthways at a slight angle and cut a pocket into the side of each chicken piece being careful not to cut through the opposite side. Set aside.
• Place the mushroom mixture in a bowl and add the ricotta and breadcrumbs. Stir thoroughly and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Stuff each chicken piece with the mushroom mixture and arrange inside the casserole dish.
• Spoon the sauce over the top of each chicken piece (if the sauce has thickened too much add a drop of milk to loosen it), scatter the remaining parmesan over the whole thing and bake in the centre of the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Remove from the oven and serve!
