Directions
Pan Roasted Chicken Breasts With Mushrooms and Leeks for Two, From Fitness Magazine (July 2005), credited to Chef Debra Ponzek , I added more thyme and a little Cajun seasoning to spice it up a bit Really good recipe though, Excellent! This was delicious! I see that a poster had difficulty making the pockets I learned a trick in my Cook’s Illustrated Cookbook: put chicken in the freezer for about 15 – 20 minutes This will make it firm enough to slice horizontally (I do this when I am slicing entire breast horizontally for pan-searing with sauces ) Thank you for the recipe!
