Learn how to make delicious Savory Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Breast. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Gathering the right ingredients is the first step to creating something wonderful. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups cremini mushrooms, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

If you’re looking for a twist, consider using goat cheese instead of mozzarella for a tangy flavor, or add a pinch of chili flakes for a bit of heat. The beauty of cooking, as my abuela taught me, is in the freedom to experiment and make each dish your own.

Instructions

Now, let’s bring this dish to life with step-by-step instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the spinach, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  5. Mix in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until well combined.
  6. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  7. Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom mixture, pressing the edges to seal. If needed, use toothpicks to secure the openings.
  8. In a small bowl, combine the remaining olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Brush over the chicken breasts and sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.
  9. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Remember, as I learned from my grandmother, cooking is all about using your senses. Listen to the sizzling sounds, watch for the beautiful golden hues, and enjoy the intoxicating aromas filling your kitchen.
