Description
A comforting and sophisticated Italian dish featuring succulent chicken wrapped around a savory mushroom filling, infused with garlic and herbs.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms (cremini or baby bella)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup ricotta or mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, then add chopped mushrooms and cook until tender and golden, roughly 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Flatten the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap to about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the mushroom filling over the chicken, add cheese, and carefully roll tightly.
- Pan-sear the roulade in the skillet until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
Let the roulade rest before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute. Experiment with different types of mushrooms and cheeses for flavor variations.
