Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 3 tsp olive oil
  • 8 stalk(s) asparagus, green
  • 8 slices of mozzarella
  • 2 cans of mushrooms
  • 350 ml Marsala
  • 250 ml beef broth
  • 1 tsp butter
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Mushrooms and mozzarella

Pound the chicken breast fillets to the desired thickness, if necessary. Grease a pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Lightly sear the chicken breast fillets on each side over medium heat (about 6 minutes per side). Then wrap them in aluminum foil to keep them warm. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the same pan and sear the mushrooms (about 3 minutes). Next, add the wine, butter, pepper, and beef broth. Bring to a boil briefly, then simmer for about 20 minutes (until about 3/4 of the liquid has evaporated). Blanch the green asparagus in boiling water for 5 minutes. It should be tender but still crisp. Preheat the oven to about 220 degrees Celsius. Remove the fillets from the aluminum foil and place them in a baking dish. Cross 2 asparagus spears over them and top with 2-3 slices of mozzarella. Place in the oven (for about 3-4 minutes) until the mozzarella turns light brown.
