Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1 pound crimini mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
  • 1/4 cup jarred sundried tomatoes
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 4 ounces sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided use
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped oregano optional
  • 3 tablespoons shaved parmesan optional
  • Fettucine boiled and strained

Instructions
 

  • Preheat pan to medium high. Add 2 Tb. olive oil and add the whole mushrooms. Cover with a lid and steam until the mushrooms cook down slightly and release their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the kalamata olives and sundried tomatoes. Cook down a few more minutes, and then add everything to the food processor with a little salt and pepper. Pulse until combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Cut each breast of chicken in half lengthwise.
  • Lay down sheet of plastic wrap, add the chicken, and top with another sheet of plastic wrap. Pound out the chicken breasts with a mallet until they are as thin as possible.
  • Drizzle chicken pieces with more olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the mushroom mixture on top of each chicken breast. Top with sliced mozzarella. Roll and secure with toothpicks.
  • Place a saute pan on medium high heat. Drizzle olive oil into the pan and sear the chicken rolls until browned on each side, a few minutes on each side.
  • Place in 350 F oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until cooked all the way through.
  • Let cool, and remove toothpicks.
  • Serve on a nest of cooked fettucine, topped with herbs and fresh grated parmesan. Enjoy!
