Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Toss in the chopped mushrooms along with Italian seasoning. Cook until the mushrooms soften, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper, then remove the mixture from heat.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff them with the mushroom mixture, topping each with a generous amount of shredded cheese.
- Sear the stuffed chicken breasts in olive oil until golden brown on both sides, around 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Serve warm and enjoy the savory goodness!
Notes
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for perfect doneness.
