Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add chopped mushrooms, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–7 minutes until mushrooms are browned and liquid is evaporated. Let cool slightly.
  4. In a bowl, mix the mushroom mixture with cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan until well combined.
  5. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom and cheese filling. Press gently to seal, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  7. Place stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks if used, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.

Notes

  • Use toothpicks to help secure the stuffing inside the chicken if needed.
  • Swap mozzarella with provolone or mild cheddar for a different flavor.
  • Add finely chopped spinach for color and nutrients.
  • Don’t overstuff the chicken to prevent filling from leaking.
