Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6–8 oz each)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped (cremini or white button work well)
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until softened.
  3. In a bowl, combine the cooked mushrooms, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the filling.
  4. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast.
  5. Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom filling, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
  6. In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and sear the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the filling.
  • Serve with a side of vegetables or a salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
