Ingredients
CHICKEN
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup goat cheese
- 4 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
- 3 large basil leaves, cut into thin strips
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 large egg, beaten
- ½ cup dried breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
SAUCE
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ pound mushrooms, sliced
- ¼ cup dry white wine
- ⅔ cup chicken broth
- 4 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
CHICKEN
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pound chicken between sheets of waxed paper using a flat meat mallet. You want to even out the thickness and thin them out a bit. Pat chicken dry.
- Combine cheese, tomatoes, pine nuts, onions and basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spread cheese mixture lengthwise over half of each chicken breast. Tuck ends in and roll chicken up tightly, securing with toothpicks. Dip chicken in egg, and then roll in breadcrumbs.
- Place chicken in an 8 inch square baking dish. Pour 2 tablespoons melted butter over the breasts. Bake until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
SAUCE
- While chicken is baking, melt 3 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until tender (about 6 minutes). Add wine and boil for 3 minutes. Add chicken broth and boil until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and swirl in 4 tablespoons of butter 1 piece at a time. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove toothpicks from chicken. Cut chicken rolls into ½ inch thick rounds and serve immediately with sauce drizzled on top.
Notes
- The chicken-rolling portion of the recipe may be prepared a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated.

Hi Lori,
What is the name of the dry white wine that you use for cooking. I love all of your recipes! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I don’t use any brand in particular, but I usually look for a sauvignon blanc that isn’t the cheapest one on the shelf!
This chicken is delicious! It’s far easier to make than it seems. A new favorite of mine.
