Ingredients
→ Main
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
Slice a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a bowl, mix mushrooms, cream cheese, mozzarella, garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Stuff each chicken breast with the mixture and press lightly to seal.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each stuffed chicken breast for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden.
Transfer seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Searing adds rich flavor and helps lock in moisture.
Use baby bella or cremini mushrooms for deeper umami flavor.
Serve with roasted vegetables, zucchini noodles, or a side salad for a complete low-carb meal.
