The stuffing mix, which stays crispy on the outside of the chicken, becomes the moist centerpiece of this delicious main dish from Edie DeSpain of Logan, Utah. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms |
1/4 cup chopped celery |
1/4 cup chopped green onions |
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram |
1/4 cup butter, divided |
1 package (6 ounces) chicken-flavored stuffing mix, coarsely crushed, divided |
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons milk |
1 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, saute the mushrooms, celery, onions and marjoram in 2 tablespoons butter for 3-4 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in 1/2 cup stuffing mix.
2. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Spoon mushroom mixture down the center of each. Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
3. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and milk. Place the remaining stuffing mix in another bowl; stir in paprika. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with crumb mixture. Place seam side down in a greased 8-in. square baking dish.
4. Melt remaining butter; drizzle over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 4 servings.
