Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
4 x dried black mushrooms
4 lrg chicken breast halves boned, skin on
----------------- MARINADE ----------------
2 tbl soy sauce
2 tbl dry sherry or Chinese rice wine
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 pch freshly-ground white pepper
----------------- FILLING ----------------
4 x cooked quail eggs shells removed
1/2 sm carrot cut 2" matchsticks
1/2 sm zucchini cut 2" matchsticks
1/4 cup sliced water chestnuts cut thin strips
1 x green onion, including top cut 2" slivers
1 tbl minced ginger
----------------- COOKING ----------------
1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions:
Instructions: Soak the mushrooms in warm water to cover for 30 minutes; drain. Cut off and discard the stems; slice the caps into matchstick pieces.

Remove the small muscle (fillet) from each chicken breast half; reserve them for other uses. Split each breast half horizontally almost all the way through, leaving one long edge attached, and open it up like a book. Lightly pound the breasts to an even thickness with the back edge of a cleaver blade or with a flat-surfaced mallet. Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken; stir to coat. Set aside for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drain the chicken breasts and discard the marinade. Place the flattened breasts, skin-side down, on a work surface. Place a quail egg and a quarter of the remaining filling ingredients, including the mushrooms, in the center of each breast. Roll up the breasts (do not fold in the sides). Place the rolls seam-side down in a 9-inch baking pan and brush them with sesame oil.

Bake the rolls uncovered until the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Pour the pan juices over the rolls. Garnish with green onion.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: Which came first the chicken or the egg? Dont waste time on the answer - just wrap boneless chicken breasts around quail eggs and strips of vegetables to make a good tasting, good looking individual entree. You can really impress your guests with this one.
