  Re: (...)
Tried another new creation today. Already had a few of the items, and was thinking, "What can be done with this." That sparked an idea, and it worked out well. Thus, I give you:

Mexitaly Fusion Chicken
(Serves 2)

Ingredients
The chicken:
  • 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, butterflied
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Lg Onion, halved and sliced
  • 1 Tsp Marjoram
  • 1/2 Tsp Thyme
  • 4 Oz Dry white wine
  • Salt and white pepper to taste
  • 4 Oz Mozzarella, sliced into thin strips
The Sauce:
  • 8 Oz Mascarpone cheese
  • 1 Tbsp Butter
  • 3 cloves of garlic, finely ground in a mortar and pestle
  • 2 Whole chipotle peppers (canned, packed in adobo sauce), or more or less, to taste, finely ground in a mortar and pestle
Instructions
The sauce:
  1. Heat a small saucepan and add the butter.
  2. Add the garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds.
  3. Add the chipotles, and sauté another 30 seconds.
  4. Add the mascarpone, and cook on low or medium-low until the mascarpone has melted and the garlic and chipotles have been stirred into it thoroughly.
The chicken:
  1. Heat a large sauté pan and add the oil.
  2. Add the onions, and sauté until transparent.
  3. Add the thyme and marjoram, and continue to sauté until the onions just begin to wilt.
  4. Push the onions to the edge of the pan, and put the chicken into the middle of the pan.
  5. Add the wine.
  6. Cook the chicken 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  7. Place strips of mozzarella onto half of each chicken breast, then fold the breasts in half and secure with toothpicks (if necessary).
  8. Pour the sauce into the pan, over the chicken and onions, stirring the onions a bit, to mix in better.
  9. Continue to cook until the mozzarella inside the chicken has melted.
  10. Serve on top of spaghetti


P.S.: Forgot to have the spaghetti on the plate when I took the photo.

That looks and sounds so good! I love cream sauces and this one has everything I love. I am always looking for new things to do with chicken, so I'll have to try this one. On thing though...could you clear this up for me. Either you typed it wrong or I'm being dense. (Would not be surprising!) Are you saying you grind the "wet" chiles in your mortar?

Yes. That is correct. I got that idea from a dip recipe that I use. I have a nice, marble mortar and pestle, so just about anything will work in there.

In general, I wanted the chipotle and garlic to be like a paste in order to blend very thoroughly with the mascarpone, and have a minimum of chunks. If you don't have a mortar and pestle, or don't wish to use it for this, do whatever you like.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll have to use my food processor for this as the only mortar and pestal is the one I use for spices and it's wooden....don't think that would be a good idea.

Probably not.

I only use wooden mortars and pestles as decorations.
