hourIngredients
1 lb chicken breasts
8 oz mushrooms
1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp thyme
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with oil or cooking spray.
- Finely chop the mushrooms and garlic, then sauté them in olive oil over medium heat until the mushrooms are soft and the garlic is fragrant.
- Mix the sautéed mushrooms with Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, ensuring all ingredients are well combined.
- Carefully cut a pocket in each chicken breast and stuff them with an equal amount of the mushroom mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Place stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and cover with aluminum foil to keep them moist during baking.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
- Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking to allow the top to turn golden brown and the chicken to fully cook.
