Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breasts

[George777]

Very simple, inexpensive, and quite filling.

Ingredients:

4 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
8oz fresh mushrooms
4 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth

Prep:
-Fillet chicken into halves and use a meat tenderizer to pound it into thin fillets.
-Chop mushrooms up into small pieces--not quite minced, not quite chunks.
-Saute mushrooms in 3 tsps butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until mushrooms are brown and absorb the butter*.
-Add 3/4 cup bread crumbs to the mushrooms and mix until well blended.
-Split mushroom mix into 8 small amounts, and put on pounded chicken pieces.
-Roll chicken with mix inside and place seam side down on a greased pan (I find Pyrex/glass dishes work best).
-Mix cream and broth together and pour over chicken.
-Take remaining 1 tspn butter and spread over top of chicken
-Spread remaining bread crumbs over top of chicken.
-Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

*Wine can be used to saute/brown the mushroooms rather than butter, giving a different taste. My experience leads me to leave the nutmeg out if I do it this way. Your taste may be different than mine, so experiment!

I served steamed broccoli and cheese and some stuffing for my sides. You're choice of sides is whatever you fancy.

Pics to come next time I make it.
