Description
A comforting and flavorful dish featuring juicy chicken breasts stuffed with sautéed mushrooms, garlic, and melted cheese, all cooked in rich garlic butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup mushrooms, diced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella or cheddar)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced mushrooms and sauté until they’re soft, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, then remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Combine the sautéed mushrooms, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a bowl, mixing well.
- Cut a pocket in each chicken breast, being cautious not to slice all the way through. Stuff each pocket with the mushroom and cheese mixture.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they have a nice golden brown crust.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, and drizzle any remaining garlic butter from the skillet over the top.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious stuffed chicken!
Notes
Add finely chopped herbs like parsley or thyme to the cheese mixture for extra flavor. Try different cheeses or vegetables for creative twists.
