Ingredients
Boneless chicken breasts
2 (pounded flat)
Portabella mushrooms
4 ounces (coarsely chopped)
White wine
3 cups (for marinating)
Butter
2 tablespoons (for frying)
Spinach
1 cup (cleaned and stemmed)
Ground coriander
3 tablespoons (divided use)
Salt
to taste
Flour
1/4 cup (to coat)
Instructions
1
Start by marinating the chicken breasts in white wine for at least 30 minutes to enhance their flavor and tenderness.
2
After marinating, remove the chicken breasts from the wine and place them on a clean cutting board. Gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are an even thickness, promoting even cooking.
3
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
4
In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the coarsely chopped portabella mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms until they are tender and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
5
Add the cleaned and stemmed spinach to the pan, stirring to combine. Cover and let the mixture wilt for about 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
6
Season the mushroom-spinach mixture with salt and 1 tablespoon of ground coriander, adjusting to taste. Set aside to cool slightly.
7
Lay the pounded chicken breasts flat on a clean surface. Place half of the mushroom-spinach mixture at one end of each chicken breast. Carefully roll up the chicken, tucking in the sides as you go to enclose the filling.
8
On a shallow plate, combine the flour, 2 tablespoons of ground coriander, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to create a dredging mixture.
9
Gently coat each chicken roll in the flour mixture, ensuring an even layer. Shake off any excess flour.
10
Arrange the chicken rolls in a lightly greased small baking dish and place them in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown on the outside.
11
Once cooked, allow the rolls to rest for a few minutes before slicing them carefully into rounds.
12
Serve the chicken rolls on elegant plates, accompanied by the remaining chilled white wine, a hearty side of rice pilaf, and a small loaf of fresh brown bread spread with flavored butter. Enjoy a romantic dinner that tantalizes the taste buds!
