Have you ever made a meal that you had not planned at all and then it turns out to be one of your best meals ever? Well, at the moment it feels as if every day should have at least 3-4 hours more.
I am constantly on the move with gardening, playing mom's taxi and making the last preparations for our Spring Fair on the 1 November. This afternoon at 5 o'clock I realized with a shock that I have not even thought about supper yet....... I had some chicken breasts in the fridge so I quickly de-boned them and then the recipe just happened......
Chicken and Mushroom supper
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts - deboned, but keep skin on...
4 "sticks" of Danish Feta - about the thickness of a thick crayon
4 spring onion
250gr button mushrooms - sliced
salt and pepper
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup white wine.
Place the chicken breasts (one at a time) between 2 layers of plastic wrap and flatten with a meat mallet.
Take one stick of the feta and a spring onion and roll inside a chicken breast. Repeat with other breasts.
Heat a pan with some olive oil and place chicken breasts in the pan( flap side down). Brown the chicken on all sides, add the mushrooms and also brown slightly. Add the wine and chicken soup, cover the pan and cook for about 10 minutes. Open the lid and let the sauce reduce to a lovely thick consistency. Add some chopped chives right at the end and serve with fluffy white rice.....

You're right - this does look good. Don't you just love when things just kinda happen in the kitchen? That's totally what happened last night - like totally. I'll probably post those pics next week - but of course it's made with chicken - lol.

It looks beautiful and tasty Nina. I was wonderfing if you used mushrooms too or are those from the soup?
pam - I'm so sorry. I added 250gr button mushrooms(sliced) to the recipe, but when I posted the recipe, Blogger had a problem and it only saved 1/2 the recipe. I have fixed it now.
This looks delicious. I've never heard of Danish feta, though.
You sure do serve up a beautiful plate! this looks so delicious!
It looks so elegant! And, of course, delicious.
You just whipped that up? Look how gorgeous! And it even has a flower!
I know exactly what you mean. I find myself throwing things together at the last minute a lot myself. Your chicken dish sure looks beautiful and delicious, though!
what a fabulous meal!!! :)
That chicken covered in mushroom sauce looks so tasty!
I don’t know on how I stumbled upon this cooking blog., All I know is that I’d better check out the archives for a good read. Ha-ha! Just droppin’ to say hi!
Oh. You might want to check this out: http://www.technocooks.com for uhm...a different "menu."
Nina, these last minute whipped up dishes are the most satisfying...love the surprise of an easy food triumph.
As for your use of Danish cheese, please do not refer to it as feta, Feta is a PDO protected name, made in Greece.
Simplicity and Perfection. Great job!
This is just a lovely plate of food. Chicken, cheese, and mushrooms: what's not to love?
bob lagatt - already checked out your site....a good read!

This looks so good! I love stuffed chicken and experiment with all sorts of stuffings all the time:) Some turn out well, some don't:) Yours looks great. Bookmarking the recipe!
Where is the Spring Fair? - any chance I can meet you there? You've been so busy and would hate to not get a chance to meet up before silly season really starts.
Love the chicken dish very inspiring, been craving mushrooms lately.
I have a mushroom post up too!
farida - oh yes, I had some disasters too!
rose - Our Springfair is at Goodwood Park Primary school in Beaufort street Goodwood. I would love for us to meet, but I am running the games for the children so taking time off to have a nice cup of tea somewhere, is just not going to work. Can we make a date for Tuesday coming....maybe on yur way back you can meet me at Casablancha"s in Howard Centre here in Pinelands....what time?
tigerfish - I go there right away!
Nina - Tuesday sounds great. I'll call you. Will make a turn at the school on Saturday morning - sounds like fun for the family.
You are so right - the impromptu meals are often the best - the trick is just remembering what you did! This has all the elements that I like - chicken breasts, feta, mushrooms and a creamy sauce :)
