STEWED CHICKEN, MUSHROOM AND MOZZARELLA QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Combine the tomatoes, chili powder, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt with 2/3 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 minutes, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon. Add the chicken and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, 8 to 9 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate, shred it and return it to the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are dry, about 4 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to a small bowl.
• Lay 1 tortilla on a work surface and top evenly with 1/2 cup mozzarella. Add a quarter of the shredded chicken and sauce, and a quarter of the mushrooms. Fold the tortilla in half to enclose the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
• Melt 1/2 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Cook one of the quesadillas, flipping once, until the cheese is melted and it is golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining quesadillas.
• Sprinkle the quesadillas with chopped scallions and serve with guacamole, sour cream and salsa if using.

MOZZARELLA CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven on the broiler setting with oven rack on the top shelf (the oven is used to melt and brown the cheese, if you don't want to turn on the oven, you can melt the cheese by covering the pan with a lid and cooking the dish until the cheese is melted but I think browning the cheese under the broiler adds a little bit more flavor).
• Cook the pasta al dente (it should have a bite to it).
• Cut the mushrooms into 1/4-inch (5mm) slices.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally (parallel to your cutting board) so you have 4 thinner cutlets. If there are parts of the meat that are still very thick, pound them slightly with a meat mallet. You want the meat to be of even thickness, but don't pound the meat very thin, like for breaded chicken cutlets.
• Rub the chicken on both sides with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a oven-proof large frying pan (if you don't have such pan, you can use any pan and then transfer the chicken to a baking dish, such as pie dish). Add the mushrooms and cook them over medium-high heat until browned and soft. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
• Add the chicken to the pan. Cook it over high heat until browned on both sides. You want the chicken almost cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
• Spread 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce in the pan (or in an oven-safe baking dish), place the chicken on top. Top the chicken with sauteed mushrooms and shredded cheese.
• Bake for about 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned (keep an eye on the cheese, it can brown very quickly!).
• Serve the chicken with cooked pasta and some extra marinara sauce.
• Enjoy!

MUSHROOM AND ONION MOZZARELLA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in the skillet, and season with garlic powder and onion powder. Cook until juices run clear. Set chicken aside, and keep warm.
• Stir mushrooms and onions into the skillet, and cook until tender. Return chicken to skillet, layer with mushroom and onions, and top with cheese. Cover skillet, and continue cooking 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

MUSHROOM-PROSCIUTTO-SMOKED MOZZARELLA STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare chicken breasts by cutting off excess fat and slitting a pocket into the center of each breast (insert knife into one side of breast, carefully slitting the pocket through the center and leaving the other three sides intact). Set aside.
• Heat 1 tbs. olive oil in a skillet at medium heat. Sauté garlic and shallots until tender. Add mushrooms to skillet and sauté until tender. Then add prosciutto to skillet and sauté until cooked through.
• Remove skillet from heat, stir in 1/4 teaspoons pepper and seasoned bread crumbs (to your texture preference) and then stir in cheese. The melting cheese will help bind the mixture.
• Stuff each chicken breast with mushroom mixture, packing the stuffing in tight. Then close the slits in each breast with toothpicks.
• Brush the bottom of a baking dish with remaining 1 tbs. olive oil.
• In one shallow bowl, whisk egg and milk. In another shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, 1/4 teaspoons pepper and salt. Carefully dredge each stuffed breast in egg mixture first (shaking off excess) and then in bread crumb mixture. Place each stuffed breast on its side in baking dish.
• Roast at 350°F for 20 minutes, turn each breast and roast for another 20 minutes or until done. During the last 10 minutes of roasting time, top each breast with remaining cheese. The cheese will melt down over the sides and brown slightly on top. If you desire your cheese to brown more, place under broiler at lowest setting for 1-2 minutes or until desired coloration.
• Remove toothpicks and serve.
