Portabella Mushroom and Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Butterfly the chicken breasts, cutting them horizontally, but not all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and mushrooms, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are soft and any moisture evaporates.
- Remove from heat and mix in mozzarella, Parmesan, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom mixture, then secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear both sides of the chicken breasts until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and add a small pat of butter on top of each breast.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or gouda, for a unique twist.
- If you prefer a lighter version, use a lower-fat cheese and skip the searing step.
