"Chicken breasts, stuffed with lemony mushroom duxelles, are seared and then simmered in a bold, creamy paprika sauce. [Photograph: Jennifer Olvera] This Hungarian-inspired dish centers around a lemony mushroom filling stuffed into boneless chicken breasts. Once the meat is seared in a Dutch oven, the same pot is used to make a rich, creamy paprika sauce. The whole magical mixture finishes cooking atop the stove for luxurious results. Why this recipe works: * Pounding the chicken breast halves and trimming them into an even rectangular shape makes stuffing and rolling easier. * Kitchen twine works better than toothpicks to hold these rolls together. * Lemon juice, lemon zest, port wine, and an onion (in place of the more common shallot) add an interesting, tasty twist to an otherwise classic mushroom duxelles. Note: After stuffing the chicken, you may have some leftover mushroom duxelles, which can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Serve them on crostini, or try your hand at classic Beef Wellington...."
