How to cook deliciously - Truffled Stuffed Chicken Breast

1 . Stage

Lay the chicken breasts flat and make a slit using a very sharp knife, but do not go all the way through. This will make a nice pocket for the stuffing. Pound the breasts evenly using a meat mallet or small saute pan. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

2 . Stage

Place bread in a bowl and pour milk over; let soak for 10 minutes.

3 . Stage

Meanwhile, heat an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, then shallots. Saute shallots until softened, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cool slightly.

4 . Stage

Squeeze excess milk out of the bread and place in a large mixing bowl. Add mushroom-shallot mixture. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, truffle oil, and egg. Mix well.

5 . Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

6 . Stage

Stuff each breast with 2 to 3 tablespoons of stuffing; do not overstuff. Pierce the chicken with toothpicks to seal the stuffing in. Season each breast with salt and pepper.

7 . Stage

Heat remaining olive oil in the same skillet as used for mushrooms over medium heat. Brown chicken for 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a baking dish.

8 . Stage

Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink and juices run clear, about 18 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes. Slice chicken and serve.
