Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Melt 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes until browned.
Add garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook 1–2 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a bowl, mix the mushroom mixture with cream cheese and mozzarella until well combined.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast without slicing through. Stuff with the mushroom mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
In the same skillet, melt remaining 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
Transfer to a baking dish and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let rest 5 minutes, remove toothpicks, and garnish with parsley before serving.
Notes
Add a splash of white wine to the mushroom filling while sautéing for extra flavor.
Try spinach or kale instead of mushrooms for a veggie variation.
Pair with roasted vegetables or cauliflower mash for a complete low-carb meal.
