Chicken and Filling

Method

Preparation of Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and sauté for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let them rest.

  3. 3

    Layer the Filling

    On each chicken breast, layer 2 slices of parmacotto, followed by 2 slices of provolone cheese, and a handful of fresh spinach. Press down gently to secure the layers.

Cooking and Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Bake the Chicken

    Transfer the layered chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Mushroom White Wine Sauce

    While the chicken is baking, heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 6

    Add the Mushrooms

    Add the sliced mushrooms to the saucepan and cook until they are softened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to deglaze. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the wine reduces by half.

  5. 8

    Finish the Sauce

    Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the Dish

    Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven. Place each chicken breast on a plate and generously spoon the mushroom white wine sauce over the top. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
