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!
