Certainly! Stuffed Chicken Cheese Marsala is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of chicken, cheese, and Marsala wine. Here’s a recipe for you:Ingredients:

For the Stuffed Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Olive oil for brushing

For the Marsala Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 oz (about 1 cup) cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup Marsala wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Butterfly the chicken breasts by cutting them horizontally, leaving one edge intact. Open the chicken breasts like a book.
   • Season the inside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
3. Make the Cheese Filling:
   • In a bowl, mix together shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and dried oregano.
4. Stuff the Chicken:
   • Divide the cheese mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, placing it on one side. Fold the other side over the filling, securing with toothpicks if needed.
5. Sear the Chicken:
   • In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Bake the Chicken:
   • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Prepare the Marsala Sauce:
   • In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown.
   • Add minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
   • Pour in Marsala wine and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Simmer for about 10 minutes to reduce the sauce.
   • Stir in butter until melted, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve:
   • Remove toothpicks from the stuffed chicken breasts. Spoon the Marsala sauce over the chicken, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
