How To Make cranberry & mushroom stuffed chicken cutlets

  • 1
    Finely chop mushrooms and onions in a food processor. Heat 1 tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and onion, 1/8 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Cook, stirring until liquid is mostly evaporated - approx 4 min. Scrape into a bowl and stir in breadcrumbs and cranberries.
  • 2
    Cover the cutlets in plastic wrap and pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to about 1/4 inch thickness. Sprinkle one side with poultry seasoning, remaining salt and pepper. Turn the cutlets over and spread approx. 1/4 - 1/2 cup of the mushroom mixture over each. Roll up, starting with the short side. Tie rolls with kitchen twine.
  • 3
    Heat remaining oil in a clean skillet over medium-high heat. Add rolls, seam side down, and cook 2 minutes. Carefully turn. Whisk broth and flour together and add to the pan. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until chicken reaches 165 degrees - 10 - 12 minutes.
  • 4
    Remove the rolls from the pan and strain the gravy through a fine-mesh sieve, if desired. Stir in butter until melted. Slice the rolls, if desired, and serve with gravy.
