Method
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

- Pat dry with paper towels.
- Place 1 ball of mushroom stuffing along 1/2 of each chicken piece.
- Tuck the short ends in and, starting at 1 long side, roll up the chicken into a tight cylinder.
- Fasten with toothpicks.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- In a large, non-stick skillet, heat the oil over high heat.
- Add the stuffed chicken and cook, turning, until brown on all sides, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and place in the oven.
- Bake until cooked through, about 7 minutes.
- Alternately, cover the skillet and cook over low heat until the chicken is cooked through, about 6 minutes.
- Remove from the oven.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add the shallots to the pan juices and cook, over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes.

- Add the Madeira and bring to a boil.
- Cook, stirring, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken stock, return to a boil, and cook, until reduced by half, about 6 minutes.
- Add the chicken and any juices to the pan and cook until the chicken is warmed through, about 1 minute.
- Serve with Braised Celery.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the mushrooms, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are wilted and begin to caramelize.
- Add the shallots and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Add the wine and cook, stirring to loosen any browned bits in the pan, and until the liquid has almost all evaporated, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and transfer the mushrooms to the bowl of a food processor.
- Add the cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, basil, and oregano, and process on high speed to a thick paste.
- Transfer to a bowl and divide into 4 equal portions.
