Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 8 oz mushrooms (white button or cremini), sliced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook until mushrooms are golden and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Italian seasoning and remove from heat.

  • Mix the cooked mushroom mixture with mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.

  • Slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season chicken with salt and pepper.

  • Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom-cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

  • In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

 

  • Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve!

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the chicken — a little goes a long way!

  • Make sure your skillet is oven-safe, or transfer seared chicken to a baking dish before baking.

  • Feel free to swap the mushrooms for spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for a twist!

  • Remember to remove all toothpicks before serving.
