Truffled Stuffed Chicken Breast image

I love truffles, but can't afford the eat them as much as I like. I bought a bottle of white truffle oil and worked on a recipe until my kids gave it 2 thumbs up. This recipe can be easily doubled for a dinner party. We like to serve this chicken with wild rice and roasted baby beets with balsamic vinegar reduction.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 loaf Italian bread, crust removed and cut into 1-inch cubes
⅓ cup milk
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 shallots, minced
1 pound cremini mushrooms, chopped
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 tablespoons white truffle oil
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Lay the chicken breasts flat and make a slit using a very sharp knife, but do not go all the way through. This will make a nice pocket for the stuffing. Pound the breasts evenly using a meat mallet or small saute pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Place bread in a bowl and pour milk over; let soak for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, then shallots. Saute shallots until softened, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool slightly.
  • Squeeze excess milk out of the bread and place in a large mixing bowl. Add mushroom-shallot mixture. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, truffle oil, and egg. Mix well.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Stuff each breast with 2 to 3 tablespoons of stuffing; do not overstuff. Pierce the chicken with toothpicks to seal the stuffing in. Season each breast with salt and pepper.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in the same skillet as used for mushrooms over medium heat. Brown chicken for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice chicken and serve.

Overall, I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the stuffing was flavorless. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to others.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. The chicken was overcooked and the stuffing was bland. I think I'll stick to simpler recipes in the future.

I'm not a fan of truffle, so I omitted it from the recipe. The chicken was still delicious and the stuffing was flavorful. I would definitely make this again, even without the truffle.
