Very tasty recipe I came up with by throwing together a bunch of my favorite ingredients that are always on hand. I would have used egg noodles, but didn't have any on hand so I substituted fettuccini instead and it was absolutley decadent!! Recipe is for one but can easily be doubled or tripled. I never measure so my measurements are apporoximate but it's almost all a matter of taste. Ingredients:
2 (4 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms (drained) |
16 -18 ounces butter |
3 -4 garlic cloves (more or less to taste) |
1/2 medium onion, chopped |
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts |
3 pinches dill weed (to taste) |
3 pinches salt (again, to taste) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. Sautee all ingredients except chicken over medium heat until tender (about 7-8 minutes).
3. Meanwhile, butterfly chicken breasts lengthwise almost all the way through creating a pouch for the filling.
4. Add some of the mushrooms and sauce mixture to the inside pouch in the chicken breast.
5. Seal the chicken up using several toothpicks.
6. Place the chicken breasts into a small pyrex dish or meatloaf pan and pour the remaining mushroom & sauce mixture over the chicken breasts to coat.
7. Bake in oven at 400 for 25-30 minutes until no longer pink inside, re-basting chicken in juices at least once halfway through cooking.
8. Serve over buttered noodles, fettuccini or other pasta of choice using remaining sauce to coat noodles.
