Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup mushrooms, diced Any variety can be used
  • 4 tablespoons butter For sautéing
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar) Substitute with plant-based cheese for dairy-free option
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • as needed Olive oil For cooking

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and mushrooms, sautéing until they soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, stirring well to combine.
  4. Carefully cut pockets into the chicken breasts and fill each with the flavorful mushroom mixture and a generous amount of cheese.
Cooking
  1. In a separate pan, heat some olive oil and sear the stuffed chicken on both sides until golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, topping each breast with any remaining cheese.
  3. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink inside.
  4. Serve warm and enjoy this delightful twist on a classic!

Notes

To keep leftovers fresh, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days. You can freeze cooked chicken; just wrap it tightly and reheat to 165°F for safety.
