Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
3 tablespoons butter, divided
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon olive oil
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Set aside to cool slightly.
While the filling cools, place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Divide the mushroom filling among the chicken breasts, placing it in the center. Fold the chicken over the filling and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle the creamy Parmesan sauce over the stuffed chicken and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
