If you love both garlic mushrooms and
garlic chicken then this recipe's for you.
Chicken breast stuffed with garlic mushrooms - a great tasting recipe
that's a lot easier to prepare than it looks.
For a massive garlic hit you could even serve this with
white garlic sauce.
| See note on ingredients |
| 2 large Chicken Breasts |

Chestnut mushrooms have a lovely flavour however ordinary
mushrooms will do just as well.

As always, adjust garlic according to taste |

Wash the mushrooms then chop small. It'll look as if you've got
enough to feed an army but don't worry, they'll reduce down.
Melt the butter in a pan, add the garlic and cook gently for a few seconds,
then add the mushrooms and stir well. Cook over a medium heat for about ten minutes,
stirring occasionally.
At first the mushrooms will release a lot of liquid, most of this will
evaporate away in the latter half of the cooking.
Whilst the mushrooms are cooking, pre-heat the oven to 200C (400F).
Stir the herbs into the garlic mushrooms and season with a little
salt and a generous helping of freshly ground black pepper.
Add the breadcrumbs to
soak up the remaining liquid. Mix together to form a paste - the stuffing.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
Cut a deep slit in each chicken breast and insert half the garlic mushroom
stuffing into each one. Use a couple of cocktail sticks to close the chicken
up, fold the ends over the top and use another cocktail stick or
two to close the parcel up.
Transfer the garlic mushroom stuffed chicken parcels to an
ovenproof dish, the slit side uppermost. Cook for about 25
mins or until the chicken is properly done.
Serve the garlic mushroom chicken either with traditional
potatoes and veg or on a bed of lightly spiced rice. Remember
to remove the cocktail sticks before serving!
