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 oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic and mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until softened. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.
  3. Transfer mushroom mixture to a bowl and let cool slightly. Stir in cream cheese and mozzarella until well combined.
  4. Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast and fill with the mushroom-cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
  5. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter and sear stuffed chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer chicken to a baking dish, sprinkle Parmesan over the top, and bake for 20–25 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C).
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • Add spinach to the filling for extra greens.
  • Swap mozzarella for fontina or Gruyère for different flavor.
  • Use light cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • Add a splash of white wine to mushrooms for depth.
  • Secure chicken well with toothpicks to prevent filling leakage.
