Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken

For the Garlic Butter Sauce

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Sauté the mushrooms. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped mushrooms and garlic, sautéing until the mushrooms are soft and aromatic.
2. Mix the cheeses. In a bowl, combine mozzarella, Parmesan, and cream cheese.
3. Combine ingredients. Add the sautéed mushrooms to the cheese mixture. Stir in salt, pepper, and parsley. Set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

1. Preheat oven. Set the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Butterfly the chicken. Slice each chicken breast lengthwise to create a pocket, being careful not to cut through entirely.
3. Season. Sprinkle the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides.

Step 3: Stuff the Chicken

1. Fill the pockets. Spoon the mushroom and cheese filling into each chicken breast. Use toothpicks to secure the edges if necessary.
2. Sear the chicken. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 4: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

1. Melt butter. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant.
2. Add liquid. Stir in chicken broth, lemon juice, and dried thyme. Let the sauce simmer for 2 minutes.
3. Combine. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken breasts.
