Wow, where to start with this recipe! The taste of this filling so delicious that words cannot describe it. There are no overpowering flavors as they all blend together very well. Extremely easy to prepare and best part was I only dirtied the frying pan and cooking plate. I only made 1 very large portobella mushroom using half the stuffing amounts as I wanted to do a test run before making for the DH. The addition of the ground chicken breast meat in the filling was a refreshing change of pace. Definately feel this recipe should be in contention for top billing in this contest. I did get some awesome photos of this dish and can't wait until the contest is over to post them. Hats off to the chef that created this recipe as this is VERY creative!!!!!!!!!!!!
