Unlike so many things I've posted lately, this recipe is a Cooking Light one, thus a bit safer for the waistline :) I've made this a few times now and really enjoy it a lot. I've modified it only slightly from the original, which can be found here:
http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/mushroom-stuffed-chicken
Ingredients:
2 (1 oz.) slices white bread, torn
cooking spray
8 oz. sliced white mushrooms
1 tsp. herbes de Provence
1/2 tsp. bottled minced garlic
1/2 c. (2 oz.) shredded part-skim mozzerella cheese
3/4 tsp. salt, divided
1/2 tsp. black pepper, divided
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 T. olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Pulse bread in a food processor to form fine crumbs. Place in a dish.
3. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and coat pan with cooking spray. Add mushrooms; sauté 10 minutes.
4. Stir in herbes de Provence and garlic. Remove from heat and cool mixture for 10 minutes.
5. Stir in cheese, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Use remaining salt and pepper to season chicken breasts.
6. "Stuff" each chicken breast with a small amount of the mixture. **The original recipe suggests making a slit in the side of the breast to make a pocket to stuff. I never can make this work, so I just cut mine open in half and fold it over.**
7. Place flour in a shallow dish. Place eggs in a separate shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour first, then dip in eggs, and then dredge in breadcrumbs.
8. Heat oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side or until browned.
9. Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes or until thermometer registers internal temperature of chicken at 165°F.
10. Serve with desired side and enjoy!
