Ingredients

  • 220 g chicken breast
  • 50 g mixed mushrooms
  • 5 g garlic
  • 150 g tomato
  • 60 g spinach
  • 30 g Gorgonzola
  • 10 g butter
  • 10 ml olive oil
  • 2 g thyme
  • 90 ml demi-glace
  • 30 ml white wine

Method

  1. Sauté the sliced mushrooms with thyme and garlic until aromatic and lightly golden.
  2. Reduce the demi-glace with the white wine, then fold in the mushrooms to create a rich thyme mushroom sauce.
  3. Blanch the spinach, sauté it briefly with the tomato pulp, then stuff the tomato and top with Gorgonzola.
  4. Bake the stuffed tomato at 325°F / 165°C for 15 minutes until tender and lightly melted on top.
  5. Season the chicken breast and sauté in olive oil and butter until golden and cooked through.
  6. Finish the chicken in the mushroom sauce and plate with the stuffed tomato.
Chef’s Note: Keep the chicken juicy by avoiding overcooking, and let the mushroom sauce stay glossy and concentrated so it complements the Gorgonzola and stuffed tomato without overpowering them.
