Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until juices are released and reabsorbed. Add wine and thyme. Cook until evaporated but not dry. Cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine cooled mushrooms with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and salt & pepper to taste.
- Using a paring knife, cut a 1 ½″ slit in the side of the chicken. Move the knife around to create a pocket. Fill the pocket in each chicken breast with ¼ of the mushroom mixture.
- In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Season the outside of the chicken.
- In an ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Brown the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for an additional 17-21 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F in the thickest part.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the chicken to a plate. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- To Use Split Chicken Breasts (bone-in):
- Use a sharp knife to cut a 1 ½″ slit in the side of the chicken breast and fill as directed.
- Place chicken breasts in the skillet and brown per the recipe above, about 2-3 minutes per side. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes (165°F).
- Use any flavored cream cheese. If using plain cream cheese, add ½ teaspoon each garlic powder and chopped parsley and 1/8 teaspoon dried basil leaves with a dash of black pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Do not overcook the chicken, I usually remove it from the oven around 162°F as it will continue to rise as it rests.
- Let the stuffed chicken breasts rest for about 5 minutes before serving. When resting, remove it from the hot pan so it doesn't continue cooking and dry out.
- Use a sharp knife to cut a 1 ½″ slit in the side of the chicken breast and fill as directed. Place chicken breasts in the skillet and brown per the recipe above, about 2-3 minutes per side. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes (165°F).
