Mushroom Stuffed Chicken with Light Pan Sauce Recipe

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
   
   
2. Place the chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and pound, with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels.
   
   
3. Place 1 ball of mushroom stuffing along 1/2 of each chicken piece. Tuck the short ends in and, starting at 1 long side, roll up the chicken into a tight cylinder. Fasten with toothpicks. Season with salt and pepper.
   
   
4. In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the stuffed chicken and cook, turning, until brown on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and place in the oven. Bake until cooked through, about 7 minutes. Alternately, cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
   
   
5. Remove from the oven. Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Add the shallots to the pan juices and cook, over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the chicken stock, return to a boil, and cook, until reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
   
   
6. Add the chicken and any juices to the pan and cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 1 minute.
   
   
7. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
   
   
8. Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are wilted and begin to caramelize.
   
   
9. Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
   
   
10. Add the chicken stock and cook, stirring to loosen any browned bits in the pan, and until the liquid has almost all evaporated, about 2 minutes.
    
    
11. Remove from the heat and transfer the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor. Add the cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, basil, and oregano, and process on high speed to a thick paste.
    
    
12. Transfer to a bowl and divide into 4 equal portions. Roll each into firm balls and use to stuff the chicken breasts.
