Description
This easy stuffed chicken recipe is made with juicy boneless chicken breasts filled with creamy mushrooms, melted mozzarella, and Parmesan, then finished with a silky mustard cream sauce. Simple enough for a weeknight, yet elegant and comforting, it’s the perfect way to turn everyday chicken into something special without extra fuss.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup sliced champignon mushrooms
- 1/3 cup chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp butter, divided
- 1 tbsp grain mustard
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
- 4 slices mozzarella
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley, divided
- Salt and ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Butterfly the chicken breasts lengthwise and pat dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken with half of the parsley, salt, pepper, and chopped onion. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- In a skillet, sauté the mushrooms in half of the butter until lightly softened. Set aside.
- Stuff each chicken breast with mushrooms, two slices of mozzarella, and a little Parmesan. Secure with toothpicks.
- Sear the stuffed chicken in a skillet over medium heat, cooking both sides until golden and fully cooked through.
- For the sauce, melt the remaining butter in a pan. Add heavy cream, mustard, garlic, and the remaining parsley. Simmer gently, stirring until smooth and blended.
- Taste, adjust salt if needed, spoon the sauce over the chicken, and serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overfill the chicken — just enough to feel indulgent without leaking everywhere.
Toothpicks are your best friend here. Use them generously and remove before serving.
If your chicken breasts are very thick, a quick gentle pound helps them cook evenly.
