Mascarpone Cheese Sauce For Chicken Breasts Or Fish Recipes

STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MASCARPONE AND WHITE WINE SAUCE

Steps:

• With your mallet or tenderizer, pound chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thick; set aside until ready to use.
• Clarify sweet chipolline onions in a little oil; remove from pan and set aside until ready to use.
• Cook garlic until just golden in colour; remove from pan and set aside with the onions.
• Cook chopped mushrooms until liquid dissipates, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Brown ground chicken, using about 2 tbsp oil, add oil as required.
• To the ground chicken add onions, garlic, mushrooms, parsley, oregano and black pepper to taste.
• Stir constantly for 5 or 6 minutes, to blend flavours.
• Steam spinach until just wilted; remove from pan and squeeze dry.
• Chop spinach, coarse; add parmesan cheese, and mix together.
• Divide ground chicken mixture evenly, and spoon onto one half of each flattened chicken breasts.
• Divide spinach mixture evenly, and spoon over chicken mixture.
• Top the mixture(s) with a slice of provalone.
• Fold the other half of chicken breast over the mixture(s), and press the edges together to form a pouch.
• Brown each pouch on both sides; reduce heat, cover pan and continue cooking until done; 10-12 minutes.
• Remove cooked chicken to plates and spoon sauce over pouches. Serve hot with vegetables or pasta (your choice).
• For the sauce: Melt butter in a pan
• Add corn starch, stirring constantly with your whisk, to blend.
• Add mascarpone cheese.
• Continue to stir with your whisk while slowly adding dry white wine.
• When cheese is blended thoroughly with the mixture, add fresh basil.
• Mix well and spoon sauce over finished chicken breasts.

MASCARPONE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a suce pan over medium heat.
• Add mascarpone cheese into pan after butter has melted, and stir until the mascarpone has all melted.
• Add the parmasean cheese at once and stir to mix off the heat (the sauce will clump up if it gets too hot with the parmasean added).
• Stir in the nutmeg.
• If needed, adjust the sauce's thickness with heavy cream.
• Season to taste with pepper.

PAN-FRIED CHICKEN WITH MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 450f.
• Loosen the skin to make a pocket on each breast.
• Mix the fresh rosemary with the mascarpone and season with salt and a good amount of pepper (if you like it!).
• Place 1/2 of the mascarpone in each pocket of the chicken. Season each breast with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil over hot heat, in a large oven proof frying pan. Brown the chicken quickly on both sides.
• Put the frying pan into the hot oven and roast for about 15 minutes or until cooked through. (Depends on the size of the chicken, but you should test it for doneness).
• Remove the pan from the oven and over a medium flame, add the lemon juice. It will combine with any mascarpone that leaked out, and the chicken juices.
• Turn the chicken to coat with the sauce and serve.
• I like this over wilted garlic spinach, which picks up the juices nicely!
