Large Brown Mushrooms Stuffed with Caramelised Red Onion Chicken and Basil

Serves 4

 

Ingredients

10ml olive oil

1 red onion, sliced

2 skinless and boneless chicken breasts, sliced

20ml sweet chilli sauce

20ml fruit chutney

4 large Portobella mushrooms

20ml olive oil

1 handful rocket

fresh basil leaves

parmesan cheese shavings

 

Method

1 Heat the 10ml olive oil in a small saucepan. Sauté the onion until glossy. Add the chicken and sauté until just cooked. Add the sweet chilli sauce and chutney. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Allow to simmer over a low heat for 15 minutes until the onion is caramelised and the chicken is tender.

2 Brush the 20ml olive oil over the outside of the mushrooms and remove the stalks. Fill the mushrooms with the chicken filling. Place onto a grid over hot coals and allow the mushrooms to braai until tender.

3 Serve with fresh basil leave and shavings of parmesan cheese.

 

Cook’s tip

Serve the mushrooms with a crisp green salad as a lovely summer meal.
