Ingredients
Instructions
- Debone and flatten the chicken breasts between two pieces of wax paper.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, Dijon hot mustard, mozzarella cheese, and Italian seasonings.
- Roll the chicken like a jelly roll.
- Fry the rolled chicken in 1/2 pint of olive oil for about 3 minutes on each side.
- Meanwhile, chop the fresh tomatoes, slice the mushrooms, and cut up the scallions.
- In a separate pan, simmer the chopped tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, chopped scallions, and 1/2 pint of vermouth or sherry in 1/2 pint of olive oil for 3 minutes.
- Place the cooked chicken on top of the simmered ingredients.
- Cook everything together for an additional 5 minutes on medium heat.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding spinach or roasted red peppers to the filling. If you don't have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard can work in a pinch. You can also substitute mozzarella with provolone or gouda for a different flavor. Make sure to secure the chicken rolls with toothpicks to prevent them from unrolling while cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Chicken Canabury with a side of pasta, such as spaghetti or fettuccine, to soak up the delicious sauce. A fresh garden salad or garlic bread would also pair beautifully. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside Italian Chicken Cutlets for a delightful Italian-themed dinner.
