Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (white or cremini mushrooms work best)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare the Chicken and Filling:
Carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, making sure not to slice all the way through.
In a bowl, mix together chopped mushrooms, cream cheese, mozzarella, minced garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Stuff each chicken breast with the creamy mushroom cheese mixture.
3. Sear the Stuffed Chicken:
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Sear each stuffed chicken breast for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and sealed.
4. Bake the Chicken:
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tops with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is bubbling.
5. Garnish and Serve:
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot for the ultimate cheesy dinner experience!
