Perfect for a romantic dinner at home.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
Cooking Spray
2 cups diced mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp pepper
4 (4-ounce) chicken breast halves
4 (1/2 ounce) slices Gouda (or other cheese of your choice)
3/4 cup fat-free, low sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine (can also substitute a cooking wine or simply use more chicken broth instead of wine)
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp water
4 small mushrooms, sliced
DIRECTIONS
1. Coat a small pan with cooking spray and sauté
mushrooms, garlic, and a dash of pepper for approximately 3
minutes. Then set aside.
2. To stuff the chicken breast, cut a
horizontal slit along the thickest portion of each chicken breast half
– like you are making a pocket. Stuff each pocket with one thin slice
of cheese and 2 tbsp of the mushroom mixture.
3. Coat a large pan with cooking spray and cook the chicken 6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is done.
4. Remove the chicken from the pan and add
broth, wine and additional mushrooms to the skillet and bring to a boil
for 2 minutes, reducing to ¾ of a cup of liquid.
5. Combine the water and cornstarch and add
to the wine broth mixture. Boil for one more minute stirring
constantly. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer to reheat the
chicken. Serve each chicken breast half with 2 tbsp of sauce and enjoy!
