Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken…
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the mushrooms and garlic until they are tender and any excess moisture has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part, without cutting all the way through. Open the chicken breasts like a book.
- Season the inside of each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Divide the sautéed mushroom mixture evenly among the chicken breasts, spreading it over one side of each breast.
- Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese over the mushroom mixture.
- Fold the other side of the chicken breast over the filling, creating a stuffed chicken breast.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Brown each stuffed chicken breast for 2-3 minutes on each side.
- Transfer the browned chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
