Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken – A Flavorful Dinner Recipe

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (high-protein, low-carb)

1 cup fresh mushrooms, finely chopped (low-calorie, gluten-free)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened (rich and creamy)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (melty, gooey goodness)

3 tablespoons butter (unsalted, for sautéing)

3 cloves garlic, minced (for extra flavor)

1 teaspoon dried thyme (herb-packed)

1 teaspoon dried parsley (aromatic seasoning)

Salt and pepper to taste (season perfectly)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (adds a salty, cheesy crust)

Fresh parsley, for garnish (healthy garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) for a perfectly baked stuffed chicken.

2. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add chopped mushrooms, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Sauté until mushrooms are golden brown and moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.

4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms with cream cheese and mozzarella cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Carefully slice a pocket into each chicken breast and stuff generously with the mushroom and cheese mixture.

6. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Top with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra cheesy, crispy finish.

7. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.

8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
