Stuffed Chicken

Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Stuffing

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are softened and moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in shredded mozzarella cheese and chopped parsley. Set aside.

2

Stuff the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Season the inside and outside of each breast with salt and pepper. Fill each pocket with the mushroom and mozzarella mixture, securing the opening with toothpicks if necessary.

3

Sear the Chicken

In an oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

4

Bake the Chicken

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).
