- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp. dry sherry or possibly Chinese rice wine
- 1 tsp cornstarch

Directions
- Soak the mushrooms in hot water to cover for 30 min; drain. Cut off and throw away the stems; slice the caps into matchstick pcs.
- Remove the small muscle (fillet) from each chicken breast half; reserve them for other uses. Split each breast half horizontally almost all the way through, leaving one long edge attached, and open it up like a book. Lightly lb. the breasts to an even thickness with the back edge of a cleaver blade or possibly with a flat-surfaced mallet. Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add in the chicken; stir to coat. Set aside for 30 min.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Drain the chicken breasts and throw away the marinade. Place the flattened breasts, skin-side down, on a work surface. Place a quail egg and a quarter of the remaining filling ingredients, including the mushrooms, in the center of each breast. Roll up the breasts (don't mix in the sides). Place the rolls seam-side down in a 9-inch baking pan and brush them with sesame oil.
- Bake the rolls uncovered till the juices run clear when the chicken is pierced, 30 to 40 min. Transfer to a platter. Pour the pan juices over the rolls. Garnish with green onion.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: That came first the chicken or possibly the egg Do not waste time on the answer - just wrap boneless chicken breasts around quail Large eggs and strips of vegetables to make a good tasting, good looking individual entree. You can really impress your guests with this one.
