Provided by mytastytreasures

Number Of Ingredients 18

SAUCE:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces)
Large plastic food storage bags or waxed paper
1 package (10 ounces) frozen spinach, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
12 small mushroom caps, crimini or button
2 cloves garlic, cracked
1 small shallot, quartered
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup part skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup Parmigiano or Romano cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, fresh grated or ground
Toothpicks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Place breasts in the center of a plastic food storage bag or 2 large sheets of waxed paper. Pound out the chicken from the center of the bag outward using a heavy-bottomed skillet or mallet. Be firm but controlled with your strokes. Defrost spinach in the microwave. Transfer spinach to a kitchen towel. Twist towel around spinach and wring it out until very dry. Transfer to a medium-mixing bowl. Place a nonstick skillet over moderate heat. When skillet is hot, add butter, mushrooms, garlic and shallot. Season with salt and pepper and saute 5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms, garlic and shallot to the food processor. Pulse to grind the mushrooms and transfer to the mixing bowl, adding the processed mushrooms to the spinach. Add ricotta and grated cheese to the bowl and the nutmeg. Stir to combine the stuffing. Return your skillet to the stove over medium high heat. Place a mound of stuffing on each breast and wrap and roll breast over the stuffing. Secure breasts with toothpicks. Add 3 tablespoons oil to the pan, 3 turns of the pan. Add breasts to the pan and brown on all sides, cooking chicken 10 to 12 minutes. The meat will cook quickly because it is thin. Remove breasts; add butter to the pan and flour. Cook butter and flour for a minute, whisk in wine and reduce another minute. Whisk in broth and return breasts to the pan. Reduce heat and simmer until ready to serve. Remove toothpicks. Serve breasts whole or, remove from pan, slice on an angle and fan out on dinner plates. Top stuffed chicken breasts or sliced stuffed breasts with generous spoonfuls of the sauce.

I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it! He said it was the best chicken dish I've ever made. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook chicken and this recipe definitely fits the bill. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the stuffing was a nice change from the usual breadcrumb stuffing.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover roasted chicken and I used it to make this dish. It was just as good as when I made it with fresh chicken.
