Ingredients

  • Ingredients
  • 4 chicken breasts, deboned with skin on
  • 1-1/3 cups seared mushrooms (see separate recipe)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 bricks wrapped in tin foil (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F

Place boned chicken, skin side down, on cutting board. Using a 3” paring knife, create pocket in breast meat and open. Cover with plastic wrap or parchment paper and using a mallet, flatten meat. Season meat with salt and pepper. Place half of 1/4 cup of cooled roasted mushrooms down the length of the breast and cover them with flattened breast meat to seal pocket. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.

Heat a 5 qt. Unison Sauté Pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Add breasts, flesh side down and sear for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn over breasts and continue to sear on skin side. Optional: Weigh chicken down with the foil-covered bricks. Transfer sauté pan to preheated oven and roast for 10-15 minutes or until thickest part of breast reaches 160°F. Remove chicken from oven and let rest five minutes before serving.
