i was going to make something with chicken for my kids tonight but they ended up eating leftovers so i decided to do something different with the 2 chicken breasts i had defrosted.

2 chicken breasts

remove the tenderloin

butterfly - slice through it horizontally and open like a book

pound it out

the mousse - this is 2 precooked chicken sausages with casings removed, the tenderloins from the chicken breasts and 2 egg whites

into the processor - just get it broken down

then add some cream -

everything should go in the fridge at this point - the mousse needs to be cold to hold it's shape at the beginning of cooking - ideally all your equipment and ingredients should be cold when starting this.

here's the mousse on the chicken

rolled and in the pan - add olive oil, salt and pepper - then 350 for 25 minutes should do it

done - i didn't eat it tonight so there's no sauce or plating... but this is the idea

I have that same food processor.

Also, excellent idea, I think I will add this one to the cookbook :D

I bet lots of interesting flavors can be added to that mousse
