🍽️ Full Recipe: Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast — do not cut all the way through.
Season the inside and outside with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Make the Mushroom Filling
In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until tender and browned.
Stir in:
Garlic
Cream cheese
Mozzarella
Thyme
Parsley
Parmesan
Mix until creamy and well combined.
Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3: Stuff the Chicken
Spoon the cheesy mushroom mixture into each chicken pocket.
Secure with toothpicks if needed to hold everything in place.
Step 4: Sear the Chicken
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 5: Bake Until Juicy
Transfer the skillet to a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F).
Step 6: Serve & Enjoy
Remove toothpicks, spoon some garlicky butter from the pan over the chicken, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve with:
Mashed potatoes
Rice
Roasted veggies
Pasta
Salad
Every bite is creamy, flavorful, and absolutely unforgettable.
💡 Tips & Variations
Swap mushrooms for spinach or sun-dried tomatoes.
Add chili flakes for a spicy kick.
Use Italian seasoning instead of thyme & parsley.
Make it extra creamy with a splash of heavy cream in the filling.
