Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs, seasoned
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 8 ounces Cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 tablespoons Butter, divided
  • 1/2 cup Shallots, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 2 tablespoons Flour
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally almost all the way through.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and parsley for the stuffing.
  4. Divide the stuffing mixture evenly and press it into the pocket of each chicken breast. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  5. Season the outside of the stuffed chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  8. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  9. Add the chopped shallots and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  10. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir for 1 minute.
  11. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and Marsala wine. Bring the sauce to a simmer, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  12. Return the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce.
  13. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C).
  14. Serve the chicken immediately, spooning the mushroom Marsala sauce generously over the top.

Notes

  • Amaya suggests using a good quality Marsala wine for the best sauce flavor.
  • You can substitute the shallots with finely diced onion if needed.
  • Toothpicks help keep the stuffing neatly inside the chicken during cooking.
