Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 4 pieces)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms finely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach chopped
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the chopped mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked mushroom and spinach mixture with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  • Stuff each chicken breast with the mushroom mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
  • Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken breasts in lemon juice and herbs for 30 minutes before stuffing.
  • Substitute the mushrooms with cooked and crumbled sausage or diced bell peppers for a different twist.
