Chicken, Bacon and Tomato Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms

What is it about portobello mushrooms that just screams elegance and calls to the epicure! I love working with portobello mushrooms, not just for their flavor but for the perfect use they have in stuffing them! These chicken, bacon and tomato stuffed portobello mushrooms are hearty, sophisticated and elegant, yet flavor packed and homey all at the same time.

I use a lemon and olive oil dressing over these that really marries all the flavors together and balances the dish beautifully. The bacon adds a richness to the dish but the lemon helps cut through that richness so you can keep going back, bite after bite.

This chicken, bacon and tomato stuffed portobello mushroom recipe is perfect for a fancy dinner with friends or a private dinner with those you love. Serve with a fresh salad and some crusty bread and you have a restaurant quality dinner at home in just about 30 minutes!
