Stuffed Chicken Breasts With Mascarpone and White Wine Sauce, An Italian Recipe developed for World Tour and Recipe Swap contest, September, 2005 If you cannot purchase chipolline onions locally, you may use Shallots, Overall, a pretty good dish good recipe for a festive occasion It did take me a good two hours to prepare — more time than the recipe states — so I knocked it off half a point for that used mixed gourmet mushrooms rather than the portabella because the latter had gone bad by the time I got around to making this recipe (!), but otherwise I followed the recipe to the letter To save a little money, if I make this recipe again, I’d probably just use regular cream cheese rather than mascarpone I’d also be a little more careful with the wine this time around, the sauce seemed a little too winey to me, so I also knocked off half a point for that (Husband and daughter liked it, though Try and taste is the best advice I can give on that one, I guess ;), I would have given this recipe 5 stars but the sauce kinda ruined it for me It had gotten way too thick and there was far too much basil for me I am going to try this again, because I really like a basic cream sauce to use with pork, fish, & chicken I will be using arrowroot instead of corn starch, this will keep it from thickening after it’s done cooking and I won’t use near as much basil, maybe 1/4 of it I believe this will make it a little better
