Now *this* recipe was *not* a miscalculation! This was yummy. Really yummy.
I had a handful of mushrooms rolling around in my fridge. These were the remaining few from a package that I had bought at the farmers market and I had to do something with them before they dried out. Thinking of how bright and nutty I found the persillade, I though that it would go great with the woody flavor of the mushrooms. However, I didn’t have enough mushrooms to make a big enough side -and- I had only one lone chicken breast defrosted in the fridge (which needed to get used up too before it went bad). I thought that I could oomph the serving of the chicken by making it a stuffed chicken.
In the same oven proof skillet that you cooked the mushrooms, add about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat to medium-high heat. Brown the chicken on both sides. Quickly, put the skillet in the oven to bake the chicken. Bake the chicken about 15 minutes.
