Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Prepare the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Season the Chicken: Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper.
  • Cook the Mushrooms: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add butter to the skillet and let it melt. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add Garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Cool the Mixture: Remove skillet from heat and let the mushroom mixture cool slightly.
  • Mix Cheese: In a bowl, mix together shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Stuff the Chicken: Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom and cheese mixture.
  • Bake: Place stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is fully cooked by checking the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Feel free to add spinach or herbs to the stuffing mixture for added flavor and nutrition.
