Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Butterfly the Chicken

• Slice each breast horizontally to create a pocket (don’t cut all the way through).
• Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Make the Filling

• Mix mushrooms, garlic, softened butter, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
• Stir until evenly combined.

3. Stuff the Chicken

• Spoon mushroom mixture into each pocket.
• Top with mozzarella.
• Press closed and secure with toothpicks.

4. Bake to Perfection

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Place chicken on a parchment-lined tray or greased baking dish.
• Bake for 25–30 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and cheese is melted.

5. Garnish & Serve

• Remove toothpicks.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
• Serve hot — perfect with roasted veggies, mashed cauliflower, or a crisp salad.

🔥 Pro Tip

For extra flavor and a golden crust, sear the stuffed chicken in a hot skillet with olive oil for 2–3 minutes per side before baking. It locks in moisture and adds beautiful color.
