Stuffed Herbed Chicken Breasts
Description
This recipe uses pounded thin chicken breasts to allow even cooking and a tender bite. The filling of mozzarella and mushrooms adds moisture and richness inside the chicken roll-ups. Rolling and securing them keeps the filling contained while baking.
The herb and spice blend introduces complexity with notes from basil, oregano, and paprika, balanced by unique touches from caraway and fennel seeds. Baking with butter on top promotes browning and a flavorful crust.
The finished dish offers a moist texture and a melding of cheese, mushrooms, and aromatic herbs. It's suited as an entrée served with sides such as vegetables or grains.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon basil dried
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 4 ounces white mushrooms sliced, or cremini mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons butter
Instructions
- Use a meat tenderizer to pound out the chicken breasts until about 1/4-inch thick.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan.
- Place a pinch of cheese in the center of each chicken breast. Top with sliced mushrooms. Finish off with another pinch of cheese.
- Carefully roll up the chicken so mushrooms are completely inside. Secure the edges with toothpicks. Place in the prepared pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together basil, oregano, paprika, caraway, fennel, white pepper, and onion powder. Sprinkle generously over each chicken breast. Place a tablespoon of butter on top of each chicken breast.
- Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees, about 30-40 minutes.
