Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon butter
• 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 cup brown sugar
• cup Dijon mustard
• cup chopped walnuts

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450F (230C).
2. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and saut until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until it is fully melted and the mixture becomes smooth. Remove the skillet from the heat.
4. Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, ensuring they are thin and ready for rolling.
5. Spread the mushroom and cream cheese mixture evenly over each chicken breast, then carefully roll them up tightly.
6. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and Dijon mustard. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
7. Spread the mustard and brown sugar mixture generously over the rolled chicken breasts.
8. Roll the chicken breasts in the chopped walnuts, ensuring they are evenly coated.
9. Place the rolled chicken breasts in a baking dish. Arrange them so that they fit snugly.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
