Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prep your ingredients: finely chop the onion and mushrooms, and mince the garlic.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent (about 5 minutes).
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Add the chopped mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and become golden brown (about 6-8 minutes).
- Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then remove from heat. Let the filling cool slightly.
- While the filling cools, prepare the chicken breasts. With a sharp knife, carefully butterfly each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the center, creating a pocket but not cutting all the way through.
- Season the inside of the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Spoon the cooled garlic and mushroom mixture evenly into the pockets of the chicken breasts. Use toothpicks to secure the edges if needed, preventing the filling from spilling out.
- Heat the olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the stuffed chicken breasts on both sides until they are golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). This step is to give the chicken a nice color and flavor; it will finish cooking in the oven.
- Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve the roasted garlic and mushroom stuffed chicken breasts with your favorite sides!
Tips:
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before stuffing and roasting.
- Ensure the garlic is roasted to a soft, golden brown to enhance its sweetness and mellowness.
- Use a toothpick or kitchen twine to secure the chicken breasts after stuffing to prevent the filling from spilling out while cooking.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts to ensure they are fully cooked. They should reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Allow the stuffed chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes after cooking to let the juices redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.
With these easy-to-follow steps, your roasted garlic and mushroom stuffed chicken breasts will turn out perfectly every time. The combination of flavors will leave your taste buds craving more, making this dish a family favorite. Enjoy your meal!
