Cheesy Garlic Butter Mushroom Stuffed Chicken Recipes

CHEESY MUSHROOM-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
• Slice chicken breasts in half lengthwise, leaving one side attached. Open breasts to lay flat, resembling a butterfly.
• On one half of each breast, layer 1/4 of the mushrooms. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon each of onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes over each one. Season with pepper, then sprinkle about 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese over top. Fold the ungarnished sides over the toppings and secure the edges with toothpicks to hold them together while baking. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
• Mix condensed soup with milk and pour over the chicken breasts. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar over top, then add bread crumbs to cover each breast.
• Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Uncover, and bake until the bread crumb topping is crispy and the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHEESY GARLIC STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Butterfly fillet the chicken breasts and lay flat in order to stuff them. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBSAEHnFaO4)
• 2. Stuff inside with both cheese's on the breast.
• 3. Then add garlic.
• 4. Sprinkle with sweet basil before closing up and securing with toothpicks or short skewers. (Make sure you have secured the opening because the next step is to roll in butter and bread crumbs.)
• 5. Melt the butter in a flat dish with sides so you can still roll the chicken in it.
• 6. Then roll in bread crumbs.
• 7. Place them in a baking dish or pan.
• 8. Pour remaining butter, or melt a little more, over the chicken.
• 9. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour.
• 10. Make sure to pull out all the toothpicks or skewers before serving. (I like to use the short skewers because they don't get in the way and they are easier to take out once the chicken is ready.)

CHEESE AND MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat in large skillet . Add mushrooms, onion and garlic; cook 7 minutes or until vegetables are tender and liquid is evaporated, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
• Stir 1 cup cheese and lemon pepper into cooled mushroom mixture; spread 1/3 cup mixture onto each chicken breast. Fold chicken lengthwise in half; secure each with 2 wooden picks. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; dip chicken into butter and roll in crumbs. Place in lightly greased shallow baking dish or pie plate; drizzle with remaining melted butter.
• Bake in preheated 450°F oven 20 minutes or until golden brown and chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 3 minutes more or until cheese is melted. Remove wooden picks before serving.

CHEESY GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOM STUFFED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C or 400°F. Melt butter in a large (over 12-inch or 30 cm) oven proof pan or skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add in mushrooms, salt and pepper (to your tastes), and parsley. Cook while stirring occasionally until soft. Set aside and allow to cool while preparing your chicken. Pat breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder and dried parsley. Rub each piece to evenly coat in seasoning. Horizontally slice a slit through the thickest part of each breast to form a pocket. Place 2 slices of mozzarella into each breast pocket. Divide the mushroom mixture into four equal portions and fill each breast with the mushroom mixture (leave the juices in the pan for later. If there are any left over mushrooms, don't worry. You'll use them later). Top the mushroom mixture with 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese per breast. Seal with two or three toothpicks near the opening to keep the mushrooms inside while cooking. Heat the same pan the mushrooms were in along with the pan juices (the garlic butter will start to brown and take on a 'nutty' flavour). Add the chicken and sear until golden. Flip and sear on the other side until golden. Cover pan and continue cooking in preheated oven for a further 20 minutes, or until completely cooked through the middle and no longer pink. Serve, with pan juices and any remaining mushrooms, on top of pasta, rice or steamed vegetables. (To make the optional cream sauce, transfer chicken to a warm plate, keeping all juices in the pan.) Sauce: Fry the garlic in the leftover pan juices until fragrant (about 1 minute). Reduce heat to low heat, and add the mustard and half and half (or cream). Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and add in any remaining mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer until the parmesan cheese has melted slightly. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add the cornstarch/water mixture into the centre of the pan and mix through fast to combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately). Season with a little salt and pepper to your taste. Add in the parsley and the chicken back into the pan to serve
