Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Directions:
Mushrooms:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Melt light butter in a large oven-proof pan or skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, and parsley, and cook while stirring occasionally until soft. Set aside and allow to cool.
Chicken:
- Pat chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder, and dried parsley. Rub the seasoning evenly on each breast.
- Horizontally slice a pocket into the thickest part of each breast. Place 2 slices of reduced-fat mozzarella into each pocket.
- Divide the mushroom mixture into four equal portions and fill each breast with the mushroom mixture. Top with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese per breast. Seal with toothpicks.
- Heat the same pan with the garlic butter juices over medium heat. Sear chicken breasts until golden on both sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until fully cooked through.
Sauce (Optional):
- Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
- Fry the garlic in the leftover pan juices until fragrant (about 1 minute). Reduce heat and stir in Dijon mustard and unsweetened almond milk.
- Bring to a simmer, add remaining mushrooms and Parmesan cheese. Simmer until the sauce slightly thickens. Add cornstarch mixture if needed for a thicker sauce.
