This is a recipe I have made up eons ago. It's delicious and your imagination is your only limit when it comes to stuffing them!

Twitchy's Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients:

4 or more boneless chicken breasts butterflied and pounded VERY thin
1 package shredded whole milk mozzeralla cheese
1 cup or so Italian flavored bread crumbs
butter
Olive oil - light for frying
Good dry white wine
toothpicks or string to tie up the rolls

Pound out your breasts and leave aside
Set up your prep area with your butter at hand
breadcrumbs in a bowl
cheese in a bowl

Lay out your chicken breast and place a small amount of cheese, one teaspoon bread crumbs and divide up a pat of butter and then roll up. Use toothpicks or string to hold together. Roll in breadcrumbs to cover the roll.

Repeat for all cutlets.

put a half and half mixture of olive oil and butter in a hot frying pan. Brown all sides of the chicken rolls. Once these are all nice an brown and crispy, throw a couple of cups of the wine into the pan, use the wine to deglaze this too! It makes nice sauce!

Cover fast to trap the steam and flavor and lower the heat to a slow simmer and simmer until the chicken is cooked all the way through, about 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.

During this process you can feel free to toss in a big fistful of mushrooms or a small can of chopped pieces of mushrooms, whatever is available at the time of year it is.

I serve this with any kind of exotic rice.

Variations:
Run several pieces of garlic through a garlic press and place in a dish. Use this like butter to spread on each breast filet.
Add chopped sun dried tomatoes and fresh basil leaves, omit the butter and bread crumbs from the stuffing. Add the cheese. roll up and enjoy!
You can also use spinach instead of basil. Remember, your only limit is your imagination!
