This is one of several recipes for Stuffed Chicken Breasts I made for serving in our restaurant 'Watney's' in Allora, Queensland, Australia, about 20 years ago. I made this again recently and it was even more delicious than I remember !

CHICKEN JERSEY (Stuffed Chicken Breast with Mushroom Sauce)

Serves 2

2 whole boned Chicken Breasts (skinned) but with the 1st wing bone left.
I used to use a small whole fresh Chicken cut in half.
Use both breasts for this dish.
Use the thighs and legs for 2 Chicken Marylands.
All bones, skin and off cuts were used to make stock or gravy - nothing was wasted.

2 flattened skinned and boned Chicken Breasts as above
4 T's Cashew nuts
4 leaves fresh basil
2 t tomato puree
1 T sweet sherry
Breadcrumbs to coat
Olive oil/butter mix 50/50 to fry
12 button mushrooms
