Marinated Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms

Great company fare but simple and quick enough for everyday! It's a side dish. It's an appetizer. It's a main dish. It's excellent anytime and anyway you serve it! (well i guess some might argue that, since this really might not be a good breakfast but....to each his or her own!)

Steps

With a damp cloth or paper towel , wipe the portabellas to clean them.

Remove the stems , chop and set aside.

Mix all of the marinade ingredients together and place into a ziplock bag.

Add the mushroom caps and seal.

Arrange the bag so that all of the portabellas are in contact with the marinade.

Marinate for at least 10 minutes but closer to 20.

To make the stuffing , begin heating olive oil in a large skillet.

Add reserved mushroom stems , onions , celery and garlic.

Cook until veggies start to soften a bit.

Add chicken and cook until done , about 5 or 6 minutes.

Stir in rice , sage , 1 / 4 cup parmesan , salt and pepper and mix well.

If it is a little dry , you can mix in a tablespoon or so of broth or wine.

Remove portabellas from the ziplock bag and discard remaining marinade.

With a paper towel , pat the portabellas to remove excess moisture.

Turn them over so that the gill sides are facing up and place in an oven safe pan.

Stuff each mushroom with about 1 / 2 to.
