Ingredients

1-1/2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 cup butter, divided
1 package (6 ounces) chicken-flavored stuffing mix, coarsely crushed, divided

Directions

In a small skillet, saute the mushrooms, celery, onions and marjoram in 2 tablespoons butter for 3-4 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stir in 1/2 cup stuffing mix.
Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Spoon mushroom mixture down the center of each. Roll up and secure with toothpicks.

Melt remaining butter; drizzle over chicken. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 4 servings.
