What are Chicken Duxelles?

Chicken Duxelles are tender, juicy chicken breasts stuffed with Duxelles. Duxelles are finely chopped or minced mushrooms which as used as a filling to any dish. I had prepared this recipe for one of my Live events for Book My Show and my Toss N Cook Facebook page. I was nervous yet excited at the same time but all my nervousness disappeared after all the love and appreciation from my viewers.

In this recipe I have used hasselback chicken. Hasselback is technique to cut the chicken where you make slits on the thick part of the chicken breast. Cut parallel slices down the length of each chicken breast making sure you do not cut it completely through as we need to fill the stuffing to it. This one’s an amazing recipe which can be served as an appetizer or just served as a meal itself with some sauce or dip.

I have shared the link for my recipe for Mushroom Duxelles towards the end of this post.
