Description
A juicy, protein-packed healthy stuffed chicken filled with savory sautéed mushrooms, garlic, shallots, and herbs, finished with a light creamy touch for richness without heaviness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large chicken breasts
- 500g baby bella (cremini) mushrooms, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp goat cheese or light cream cheese
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Cook mushrooms until all liquid evaporates and they are browned. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme. Season at the end and let cool completely.
- Place your hand on each chicken breast and cut a deep pocket without slicing all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with 2–3 tablespoons of the cooled mushroom mixture and secure with toothpicks.
- Sear chicken in a hot oven-safe skillet for 3 minutes per side, then bake at 200°C for 12–15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 74°C.
Notes
Make sure the mushroom filling is fully cooled and dry before stuffing to avoid soggy chicken and ensure a rich, concentrated flavor.
