Stuffed Mushroom Chicken

A mouth-watering stuffed chicken recipe made from real food ingredients.
Prep Time15 mins
Course: Main Course
Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 4 large chicken breasts, slit to create a pocket
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 16 oz mushrooms
  • 1 small onion, minced
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 oz Romano cheese, shredded
  • 2 cups gluten-free stuffing mix (or regular bread cubes)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Sprinkle black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp green onions

Instructions

  • Carefully cut your chicken breasts through the middle, but not all the way, to create a pocket for your stuffing.  If it doesn't stay all the way closed, and there are holes in it...it will be okay.  Set them aside.
  • Melt butter in a large skillet on medium heat.  Add the chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook on each side for about 5 min or until golden brown.  It won't be cooked through, but that's okay.  Transfer chicken to a baking dish and set aside.
  • Add the butter, onion, and mushrooms to the skillet.  Cook for about 5 minutes or until veggies are softened.  Preheat oven to 350.
  • Add the garlic and cook for another minute.  Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
  • Add the wine and stir to get any bits off the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the stuffing mix, green onions, and cheese and stir it together.
  • Scoop the stuffing mix into the chicken pockets.  Get as much in as you can.
  • Bake the chicken for 25 - 30 minutes or until cooked.  Serve immediately, or it can be refrigerated or frozen until later -- it reheats well!  (I made a bunch and portioned it out for meals later.)
