Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or plant-based cream for a dairy-free version
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally through the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the creamy mushroom mixture, securing the opening with toothpicks if needed.
  • Heat a little more olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts on both sides for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  • Transfer the chicken to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
