📝 Ingredients

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

Prep the Filling: In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and cook for 3–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 more minute, then let cool slightly.
Mix the Cheese: In a bowl, combine sautéed mushroom mixture with cream cheese, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Mix until well blended.
Prepare the Chicken: Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast (don’t cut all the way through). Stuff each pocket with the cheesy mushroom mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt remaining butter over medium heat. Sear each chicken breast for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Reduce heat, cover, and cook for another 7–10 minutes until fully cooked through (internal temp 165°F/75°C).
Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy the cheesy goodness!

📸 Serving Suggestions

Serve with mashed potatoes, garlic butter pasta, or a light green salad.
Add roasted veggies like carrots or asparagus for a full, balanced plate.
Garnish with extra Parmesan and a drizzle of garlic herb butter for flair.
