- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 prosciutto slices
- 1/2 cup Fontina cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 sweet onion finely diced
- 1/2 cup clarified butter ghee
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
- A pinch of sea salt
- 4 chicken breasts butterflied
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon capers rinsed and chopped
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
First, butterfly the chicken breasts. This involves slicing them almost through, creating a pocket. Then, season each breast with a pinch of sea salt and white pepper.
Step 2: Stuff the Chicken
Step 3: Sauté Vegetables
In a sauté pan, melt the clarified butter over medium heat. Add the finely diced sweet onion, sliced cremini mushrooms, and minced garlic. Sauté until they are tender and fragrant.
Step 4: Cooking the Chicken
Step 5: Make the Sauce
In the same pan, add the white wine, lemon juice, and chopped capers. Let it simmer and reduce slightly. Then, add the unsalted butter, stirring until it melts and the sauce thickens.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs and quality cheese make a significant difference.
- Don’t Overstuff: Keep the stuffing moderate to prevent it from leaking out during cooking.
- Temperature Control: Cook on medium heat to avoid burning the butter or undercooking the chicken.
- Resting Time: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
- Double the Sauce: Consider doubling the sauce ingredients if you love a saucy dish.
