Description
A delicious recipe for stuffed chicken breasts filled with creamy brie cheese and sautéed mushrooms, perfect for a special dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 6 ounces brie cheese (or one wheel of camembert, sliced into 4 slices)
- 2 pounds button mushrooms (thinly sliced)
- 2 shallots (diced)
- 3–4 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 cup chicken broth (beef or vegetable broth works)
- Freshly chopped parsley (to garnish)
Instructions
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast to make room for the fillings. Make sure you don’t go all the way through. Season the chicken breasts with the Italian seasoning, Kosher salt and pepper.
- In an oven-safe skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Sear the chicken on one side, just until half-cooked and golden. Remove from heat.
- Carefully fill each pocket of your chicken breast with slices of brie cheese, then set aside on a plate (with the golden-seared side up). You may secure with toothpicks, if needed.
- In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sauté the button mushrooms for 5 minutes.
- Add in the shallots and garlic cloves, and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Take about 1/3 of the sautéed veggies and stuff the chicken with them.
- In a small jug, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, honey, and chicken broth. Add it to the pan with the mushrooms and bring to a soft boil.
- Return the stuffed chicken to the pan and nestle it into the mushroom sauce.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for around 20-25 minutes; the internal temperature of each chicken should read 165F.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Notes
- Ensure not to cut through the chicken when making pockets.
- Using toothpicks can help keep the filling secure.
- Check the internal temperature to ensure chicken is fully cooked.
