Provided by John Torode

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

40g dried porcini mushrooms
3 tbsp olive oil
1 shallot , finely chopped
1 garlic clove , finely chopped
100g baby leaf spinach
150g ricotta
50g firm mozzarella , coarsely grated
20g parmesan , finely grated
4 skinless chicken breasts
4 slices prosciutto

Steps:

  • Boil the kettle, tip the mushrooms into a small bowl, pour over boiling water to just cover, then leave to soak for 15 mins. Drain and squeeze out the mushrooms (save and freeze the liquid to make a base for a gravy) and roughly chop.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the shallots and garlic for 3 mins. Turn up the heat, throw in the mushrooms and cook for a few mins more. Add the spinach, turn the heat up to high and cook until wilted and all the liquid has evaporated. Tip into a bowl and leave to cool. Beat in the cheeses and season with loads of pepper and a little salt. Set aside.
  • Take the chicken breasts and remove the small fillet from the back. Cut a slit into the side of each chicken breast then stuff each one with a quarter of the spinach mixture, closing it with the cut-off fillet. Carefully wrap each stuffed chicken breast in a slice of prosciutto and chill until needed. Can be prepared up to a day ahead.
  • To cook, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line up the chicken on a baking tray and roast for 20-25 mins until the prosciutto is frazzled at the edges, the cheese is oozing out and the chicken is cooked through.

Tips:

- To ensure the chicken breasts remain moist and tender during cooking, it's crucial to not overcook them. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption. - If you prefer a more intense mushroom flavor, consider using dried mushrooms. Rehydrate them in hot water before adding them to the filling. - To add a touch of smokiness to the dish, roast the red bell peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until charred. Then, remove the charred skin and dice the peppers. - For a creamy and flavorful sauce, use a combination of heavy cream and Cognac. Reduce the sauce until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. - If you don't have Cognac on hand, you can substitute it with dry white wine or chicken broth. However, Cognac adds a unique depth of flavor to the sauce. - Serve the stuffed chicken breasts immediately, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.

Conclusion:

This recipe for chicken breasts stuffed with mushrooms, spinach, and Cognac sauce combines various culinary techniques to create a flavorful and elegant dish. The tender chicken breasts, complemented by the rich and creamy sauce, make it a perfect choice for special occasions or dinner parties. The combination of mushrooms and spinach adds a delightful texture and earthy flavor, while the Cognac sauce elevates the dish with its distinct aroma and taste.
