Ingredients
FOR FILLING:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 ounces button or portabella mushrooms sliced
- 1 large shallot thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons white wine optional
- ¼ cup softened cream cheese
- ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup finely diced ham
- ½ cup frozen peas
FOR STUFFED CHICKEN:
- 6 5 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- ¼ cup dried breadcrumbs
- sprinkle salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°. Spray a baking sheet with vegetable spray and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until mushrooms have browned and given up some of their moisture. Stir in the shallots, thyme, salt and pepper and saute for 1-2 minutes until shallots are softened and mixture is fragrant.
- Add the white wine, cook and stir until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from the stovetop to rest.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, diced ham and frozen peas. Add the mushroom mixture. Use your clean hands to blend the filling ingredients together and set aside.
- Use a sharp paring knife to cut a pocket into the thick side of the chicken breasts that runs the length of the chicken, leaving about a 1/4 to 1/2" border around the edges.
- Divide the filling among the chicken breasts and secure the openings with toothpicks.
- Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil. Season with a sprinkle of salt and pepper and divide the breadscrumbs over the tops, lightly patting them into the chicken with your finger tips.
- Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove from the oven and let rest for 3-4 minutes before transferring to a platter or plates to serve.
