mozarella sausage stuffed chicken
Ingredients:
- 1/4 lb hot italian sausage with the casing removed
- 1 yellow onion, minced
- 2 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, chopped
- 2 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- salt and pepper
- 12 toothpicks
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
- Saute the sausage in a pan over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until its almost cooked
- Meanwhile, mince one yellow onion
- Add the onion to the sausage so that the onion soaks up some of its flavors, about 5 minutes
- Dice the mozzarella into small chunks and add it to a medium-sized mixing bowl and add two tablespoons of breadcrumbs
- Season to taste with a pinch of salt and some black pepper
- Take the sausage and onions off the heat and add it to your mozzarella mixture
- Take each chicken breast half and place it on the cutting board with the fat side facing you
- Using a paring knife, cut into the thickest part of the meat to create a pocket, taking care not to cut all the way through
- Add a spoonful of the stuffing, and use one of your toothpicks to fasten the two sides of the chicken breast together
- Do the same thing with the other five chicken breasts
- Place your chicken in an oven-safe pan, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil and 1/2 cup white wine
- Cook them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes
