Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Season both sides of the chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

Add mushrooms and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes until softened and lightly browned.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Allow the mushroom mixture to cool slightly.

Step 3: Make the Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, parsley, black pepper, and the cooked mushroom mixture.

Mix until creamy and fully combined.

The garlic butter mushrooms create rich savory flavor while the cheeses melt into creamy comfort food perfection.

Step 4: Stuff and Bake the Chicken

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the mushroom filling.

Secure with toothpicks if needed to prevent filling from leaking during baking.

Place the stuffed chicken into the prepared baking dish and drizzle lightly with olive oil.

Bake uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

For extra golden tops, broil during the final 2 minutes.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
