Juicy chicken breasts stuffed with a savory mixture of sautéed garlic mushrooms and melty cheese, then pan-seared in rich garlic butter for a golden, crispy finish.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (such as parsley or thyme), for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice a pocket into each chicken breast and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sauté mushrooms in olive oil over medium heat until they release moisture.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. Stir in shredded cheese and let it melt slightly.
  5. Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom-cheese mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  6. Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Reduce heat, baste with garlic butter, and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 °F (75 °C).
  8. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked through.
  • Can substitute canned mushrooms—just drain well before use.
  • Try different cheeses like Swiss, Gruyère, or pepper jack for variety.
  • To bake instead of sear, preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and bake for 20 minutes after searing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
