Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Mandarin Orange Sauce

stuffed-chicken-breasts-with-mandarin-orange-sauce-large-25184This is one of the first recipes I ever made for Diane. And it was totally sweet. And then I totally lost the Campbell’s soup advertisement cookbook pamphlet in which I found the recipe. 10.5 years later, I found the recipe again online. Here it is. It is still totally sweet. I modified it a bit, mostly to respond to today’s larger, ridiculous chicken breasts, and also to use Swiss cheese.

Ingredients
  • 3 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
  • 6 thin slices prosciutto
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese or swiss cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (Regular or 98% Fat Free)
  • 3/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp country-style Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp dry white wine

  • 1 tsp packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried tarragon leaves, crushed
  • 1 heavy dash Garlic powder
  • 1 cup drained Mandarin orange segments (use the tallish but not giant can)
Instructions
  1. Cut each chicken breast in half to make two roughly square pieces. In each square, cut a lengthwise pocket.
  2. Stuff each pocket with 1 slice of prosciutto and 1 slice of cheese.
  3. Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it’s well browned on both sides.
  4. Stir the soup, orange juice, mustard, wine, sage, parsley, sugar, onion powder, tarragon and garlic powder together in a bowl. Add mandarin orange segments and stir together. Pour over chicken in skillet.
  5. Heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
