Description

Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken is a delicious, creamy, and flavorful dish featuring chicken breasts stuffed with a mushroom and cheese mixture, topped with Parmesan, and baked to perfection.


Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3 tablespoons butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped mushrooms, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook until mushrooms are browned and any moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cooked mushrooms with cream cheese and mozzarella cheese until well combined.
  5. Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast and stuff it with the mushroom cheese mixture.
  6. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure the chicken breasts are fully cooked before serving.

To make it spicier, you can add a pinch of red chili flakes to the mushroom mixture.

Can be served with a side of salad, rice, or roasted vegetables.
