Directions
Italian Stuffed Chicken Breast With a Marsala Sauce, Yet another experiment and another success I am pleased to say This is very easy to do and tastes delicious, the only fiddly thing is tying it with the kitchen string and I hate that anyway Well actually thats not entirely true, it is more if I am stuffing something with cheese as you have to get the string as tight as possible to stop the cheese from melting out Anyway enough about kitchen string and more about the dish Feel free to serve it anyway you want I served mine over celeriac mash which was a really lovely accompaniment, but regular mash would be fine, or just vegetables if that is what you are in the mood for I only made this for 2 so I hope I have guessed right on the amount of cheese, please adjust if this is not enough , I did cut this recipe in half for just 2 of us, but definitely want to make this for company another time ~ The flavor is outstanding & the whole dish, most satisfying! Really enjoyed the cheese combo AND the sauce, & although not the most healthy of dinners, it is a wonderful once-in-a-while kind of thing! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
