Ingredients

• 

4 medium portobello mushroom caps

• 

1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

• 

1/2 cup (125 mL) thinly sliced shallots or finely chopped onion

• 

2 cloves garlic, minced

• 

12 outer leaves of savoy cabbage

• 

4 skinless boneless chicken breasts

• 

4 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and julienned

Preparation

With spoon, scrape gills from underside of mushroom caps and discard; thinly slice mushroom caps.

In small skillet, heat oil over medium heat; sauté shallots and garlic until shallots are light golden, about 5 minutes.

Scrape into bowl; set aside. Steam cabbage leaves, covered, over high heat until pliable, 3 to 5 minutes; let cool. Cut out any tough stem cores.

On work surface, overlap 3 leaves, stems at centre, to form circle; place chicken breasts on centre. In order, top with one-quarter each of shallot mixture, tomatoes, then mushrooms. Fold leaves over centre to form packet; secure with toothpick. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

Place packets in hot steamer; steam, covered, over high heat until chicken is no longer pink in centre and juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove toothpicks before serving.

Makes 4 servings.
