Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped mushrooms and minced garlic; sauté until tender (about 5 minutes).
  3. In a bowl, combine the mushroom mixture with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until creamy.
  4. Cut pockets into each chicken breast without slicing all the way through. Generously stuff each pocket with the cheesy mushroom filling.
  5. Place stuffed chicken in the prepared dish and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
