Chicken And Orzo Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms Recipes

CHICKEN AND ORZO STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat and cook bell pepper until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic during the last 30 seconds and sauté until fragrant. Stir in orzo and add 1 cup chicken broth, demi glace, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken. Cook and stir for about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Cook and stir until liquid is absorbed and add the next 1/2 cup chicken broth, about 5 minutes. Repeat until orzo pasta is tender - you may not need all the chicken broth. Add spinach during the last minute of cooking.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place mushroom caps on a rimmed baking sheet. Add equal amounts of orzo filling to the mushroom caps. Top with smoked mozzarella cheese and broil until golden brown and cheese is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS STUFFED WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat barbecue grill until very hot. Prepare garlic for roasting be removing outer, papery layer. Slice off top of garlic so that cloves are exposed. Drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil, wrap tightly in double thick square of foil and place directly on rack of hot grill. Repeat this same procedure with onions (warp individually).
• Rub portobello caps, stems, criminis with olive oil, salt and pepper, add to grill with onions and garlic. Remove portobello caps, stems, and criminis from grille after lightly browned (do not overcook, approximately 3 to 5 minutes on each side). Cut portobello stems and criminis into 1/4-inch strips, set aside, keep warm while cooking chicken.
• On the stove (or in a pan on the barbecue grill), heat a saute pan until hot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, add the roasted garlic and saute for 15 seconds (do not brown). Reduce heat to medium high, toss chicken strips in flour, and add to garlic mixture. Season with salt and pepper, add red pepper flakes and saute quickly until lightly golden browned and chicken begins to stick to pan. Add wine, butter and reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking until light sauce develops (approximately 5 minutes), toss in herbs and continue cooking for 1 to 2 minutes then remove from heat.
• To assemble, place mushroom caps on plates, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese. Gently toss together chicken strips, pepper strips, onion strips, and mushroom strips and pile on portobello cap. Add 2 to 3 Parmesan curls, decorate with a basil sprig and serve warm.

STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS WITH GROUND CHICKEN AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish large enough to hold the mushrooms with cooking spray.
• Remove mushroom stems; chop and set aside in a medium bowl. Use a spoon to carefully remove gills, making sure you don't tear the mushroom caps; discard gills. Invert the mushroom caps and place in the prepared dish.
• Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; saute for 5 minutes. Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
• Add chicken mixture to the chopped mushroom stems. Stir in 1 cup Gouda cheese, tomato, goat cheese, parsley, rosemary, and basil. Fill the cavity of each mushroom with the mixture, mounding it slightly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Gouda over the mushrooms and bake until cheese melts, about 5 more minutes. Serve hot.
