Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Marsala Cream Sauce Recipes

STUFFED CHICKEN MARSALA (OLIVE GARDEN COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Use a sharp knife to cut a slit horizontally along one side of the chicken breast, being sure not to cut all the way through the chicken - the goal is to make a "pocket".
• Fill each pocket with 2 slices of mozzarella cheese, 1/4 of the sun dried tomatoes, and 1/4 of the shredded parmesan cheese.
• Pinch together the open side of the chicken breasts and secure with toothpicks. Drizzle chicken with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and Italian seasoning, rubbing in with your fingers.
• Transfer chicken to a large oven-safe skillet and brown chicken over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side. Place chicken on a plate while you prepare the marsala sauce.
• In the same pan (don't clean it) add marsala cooking wine, garlic, mushrooms, salt and pepper, and heavy cream. Stir and bring to a boil and cook for 3-4 minutes. Return chicken pan and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken.
• Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked all the way through and cheeses are melted. Spoon sauce over the chicken, top with grated parmesan cheese and parsley or thyme if desired, and serve.

STUFFED CHICKEN MARSALA RECIPE

Steps:

• Use a sharp pairing knife to cut a small slit in the thickest part of the top of the chicken. Gently use the knife (while it's in the slit) to create a pocket inside the chicken, but be sure you don't cut all the way through to the sides of the chicken. Stuff the chicken with the fontina.
• Heat a large skillet to a medium heat. Add olive oil and one tablespoon of butter. Season chicken on both sides with plenty of salt and pepper. (I usually use about one teaspoon of salt per pound of chicken.) Once the butter melts, add the chicken. Sear until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Flip over and sear on the other side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Add remaining butter to the pan. Add the mushrooms and onions. Sauté until softened, about 5-6 minutes.
• Pour in marsala wine. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until reduced a little bit, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in chicken stock and cream. Bring to a simmer and add the chicken back to the pan. Cover and simmer until chicken is cooked through, another 6-7 minutes. The chicken is done cooking when an instant-read thermometer reaches 165 degrees.
• Season sauce with salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or cooked pasta.
