Ingredients and Method
Ingredients
- 4 ButcherBox.ca Chicken Breasts
- 1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped (preferably cremini or button)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- to taste salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for coating)
- for garnish Fresh parsley, chopped
Method
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender (about 5 minutes).
- Add Herbs: Stir in dried thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix with Cheese: In a bowl, combine the mushroom mixture with shredded Gouda cheese. Mix well to combine.
- Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff the Chicken: Fill each chicken breast pocket with the Gouda and mushroom mixture, pressing gently to secure the filling.
- Optional Coating: If desired, roll each stuffed chicken breast in breadcrumbs for added texture.
- Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Rest: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving for an added touch of colour and flavour.
