👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Butterfly the Chicken
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket—don’t cut all the way through.
- Season both sides with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. Make the Filling
- In a bowl, mix chopped mushrooms, garlic, softened butter, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Stir until evenly combined.
3. Stuff the Chicken
- Spoon the mushroom mixture into each pocket.
- Top with shredded mozzarella.
- Press closed and secure with toothpicks.
4. Bake to Perfection
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place stuffed chicken on a parchment-lined tray or greased baking dish.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through (165°F / 74°C) and cheese is melted.
