This was another home-run. I started with the basic premise of stuffing mushrooms into chicken, but that's pretty much the only similarity to the original dish. I must admit that I rarely try a recipe by the book. I guess I just know what flavors I like, but more importantly, I know how many calories I need to consume. I wanted to use the pesto in the dish as well, and it was a perfect compliment to the earthy mushrooms without overpowering them. The calorie count is for a 6-ounce piece of chicken with stuffing and 1/6th of the pasta, approximately 1 cup.
