Ingredients

1 cup Italian dry bread crumbs

2/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated

3 boneless chicken breast halves

3 tablespoons Mascarpone Cheese

1/4 to 1/2 cups Mozzarella

1 Egg

1/4 cup milk

1 cup Dry white wine

1/4 can Diced Tomatoes with Basil, Garlic and Oregano

1 cube Chicken bouillon

1 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup Heavy whipping cream

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoon Olive oil

1 clove Garlic


Directions

1. Wash and clean chicken breasts of any fat. 2. Cut a pocket in the middle of the breast making sure not to cut too close to the edges. 3. Stuff the breasts with 1 tablespoon of Mascarpone cheese and Mozzarella cheese. 4. Pin the Chicken closed with a toothpick. 5. Season the outside of the chicken breasts with your favorite appropriate seasoning. (I like to use a garlic pepper blend and a little Italian seasoning.) 6. Mix the milk and egg together is a dish big enough to coast the chicken in. 7. Mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheeses together in a dish big enough to coast the chicken in. 8. Coat the chicken with egg mixture and the bread crumbs mixture. Set aside on a dry plate. 9. Heat olive oil and butter in skillet on medium heat; add crushed garlic clove. 10. When the butter is melted and foaming and garlic becomes lightly brown add chicken. 11. Cook on the first side only turning over when that side is adequately browned. Turn and repeat cooking on the other side. If the breast is thick you may need to brown the sides as well. 12. Add wine and chicken bouillon. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. Cover the pan with the lid ajar. (If too much steam stays in the breading will fall off.) 13. While the chicken is simmering purée and heat the dice tomatoes making a sauce. 14. When chicken is done remove it from the pan and place in a warm platter. Blend the cornstarch with the cream in a small bowl. Slowly whisk cream into the skillet cooking and whisking until thickened. 15. Add about 1/4 of the tomato sauce to cream sauce and mix. (The sauce will look almost orange.) 16. I return the chicken to the sauce but you don't have to. 17. I like to serve Angel Hair pasta with this dish but any light pasta would be a great complement.

Difficult to make though. Browning the chicken on the pan proved to be a messy job, so I instead quickly took it off the pan and put it to the owen to simmer there soaked in wine and chicken bouillon. The tomato sauce I mixed with mascarpone instead of with cream, tastes much better this way.
