Chicken Washington

 

 

1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped
2 tablespoons margarine
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup light cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pepper

1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6-7 chicken breasts
Flour
2 slightly beaten eggs
3/4 cup fine bread crumbs

 


Cook mushrooms in margarine 5 minutes. Blend in flour; stir in cream. Add seasonings; cook and stir until mix is thick. Stir in cheese; cook over low heat, stirring until cheese melts. Turn into pie plate. Cover. Chill 1 hour. Cut cheese mixture into 6-7 pieces, shape into short sticks. Remove skin from chicken. Place each piece, boned side up between clear plastic wrap [overlap meat where split]. Pound out from center with wood mallet to form cutlet [1/4 inch thick]. Peel off wrap. Salt. Put cheese stick on each piece. Roll up like jelly roll. Press to seal. Dust with flour, egg, and crumbs. Cover and chill 1 hour. An hour before serving, fry rolls in deep fat for 5 minutes or until golden brown. Bake at 325 degrees for 30-45 minutes.
