Golden Stuffed Chicken Breasts in Luxurious Garlic-Parmesan Sauce

Ingredients

– 4 boneless chicken breasts

– 1 cup mushrooms, finely chopped

– 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

– 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

– 2 tablespoons garlic, minced

– 1/4 cup butter

– 1/2 cup chicken broth

– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

– Salt and pepper to taste

– Fresh thyme for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a bowl, combine chopped mushrooms, cream cheese, and mozzarella. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Create a pocket in each chicken breast and fill with the mushroom and cheese mixture. Secure using toothpicks.
4. Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts until golden brown, approximately 5 minutes per side.
5. Set chicken aside. Add garlic to the same skillet and sauté for 1 minute.
6. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Incorporate Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
7. Return chicken to the skillet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked.
8. Garnish with fresh thyme and drizzle with the luxurious garlic butter sauce.

Pro tip: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking to ensure the cheesy filling stays inside when you cut into it.
