Ingredients

1 pound fresh mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons finely minced shallots
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 small boned and skinned chicken breasts, about 2 1/2 ounces each, pounded thin
4 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup dry Marsala wine

Steps:

Place mushrooms in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Transfer mushrooms to a sieve and press out any excess liquid.
Heat butter in a large skillet. Add 2 tablespoons of the shallots and the garlic and saute over medium-low heat until tender. Add the chopped drained mushrooms and cook until they are lightly browned and any excess liquid has evaporated from the pan.
Return mushrooms to a food processor, add parsley and one tablespoon of the cream and process to a fine puree. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Spread about a tablespoon of this mixture on each flattened chicken breast, roll the chicken around the filling and secure with toothpicks or tie with butcher's cord. Dust each roll lightly with flour.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken and saute quickly over medium high heat until golden brown on all sides. Remove chicken from pan, add the remaining tablespoon of shallots and saute briefly. Stir in the Marsala.
Return the chicken to the pan, baste with the sauce, cover and cook over low heat for 35 minutes, basting once or twice.
Remove chicken from the pan and transfer to a serving dish. Cover to keep warm.
Add the remaining cream to the pan, stir, then taste for seasoning. Cook briefly over high heat then spoon sauce over chicken and serve.
