Ingredients

Chicken:

  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 chicken livers, finely chopped
  • 1 pound wild mushrooms, stemmed and finely chopped (any kind you like; shiitake, oyster or cremini are great)
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 bunch fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Directions

For the chicken: Coat a large saute pan with olive oil, toss in the shallots, season with salt and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Cook the shallots for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently.

Toss the chicken livers into the pan, stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms, stir to combine and season with salt. Cook the mushrooms until they are soft and wilted, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add the wine and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushroom mixture is almost dry. Remove from the heat and let cool.

Transfer the cooled mushroom mixture to a medium bowl, add the goat cheese and chives and mix until it is a homogeneous mixture. Put the mushroom mixture in a disposable piping bag and reserve.

Using a paring knife or boning knife, make an incision in the thick end of each chicken breast. Insert the knife all the way into the chicken breast and slide it back and forth to create a pocket. Try not to poke the knife through the top or bottom of the chicken.

Squeeze the mushroom filling into each chicken breast.

In 3 separate wide, shallow containers, set up a standard breading procedure: one container of flour, one with the beaten egg mixture and one with the panko.

Season the chicken breasts with salt. Using one hand for wet things and one hand for dry things, dredge each chicken breast in the flour. Dip in the egg wash and then pack panko onto each chicken breast. Lay the chicken breasts on a sheet tray and let them rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Set up a tray lined with paper towels. Take the chicken breasts out of the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.

Coat a large saute pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Work in batches if all the chicken breasts do not fit in the pan at the same time. Cook the chicken until well browned on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the browned chicken and blot it on the paper towels; season with salt immediately. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

When all the chicken has been browned and blotted, place the chicken breasts on a wire rack set over a sheet tray and continue to cook for 10 to 15 minutes more in the oven.

For the sauce: Meanwhile, ditch the fat from the pan and add the wine. Reduce the wine by half. Add half the chicken stock and reduce that by half. Add the remaining chicken stock and reduce that by half also (this will take a little time so be patient).

Taste the reduced stock and season with salt if needed. Remove the pan from the heat and swirl in the butter.

Plate the chicken and spoon the pan sauce over the chicken.

    Fist of all Anne you are amazing, I HATE liver of any kind, this dish is amazing. I bought some wonderful goat cheese at a local farmers market and was looking for something great to do with it, I found it. Now to the ones on here that complained about reviewing something when one did not stay true to the recipe, let me say the sign of a good chef professional or otherwise is the ability to make substitutions when ingredients are not available or to meet the audience desires you are cooking for. Me I live in a food desert, shallots are a rare thing here so I sub'd scallions. This recipe is not for the faint of heart cook, it is designed to impress guest and takes some time the first time, but is so worth it. Use the liver even if you don't like liver it would not be good without it. The left over stuffing is great on toast as an app.

    this was great! My first time using panko crumbs. It is now a favorite of mine. I will make again.

    I ended up using a half pound of mushrooms and increased the chicken livers by 1. Didn't really need the sauce.
