For the Chicken:

  • Salt, to season
  • Pepper, to season
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated

For the Garlic Parmesan Cream Sauce:

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 2 large garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 1½ cups half and half (or reduced-fat cream or evaporated milk)
    • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
    • Salt, to taste
    • Pepper, to taste
    • ½ teaspoon cornstarch (optional, mixed with 2 teaspoons of water for a thicker sauce)
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Method:

  1. Assemble the filling for the mushrooms:
  2. Within a big skillet, bring the butter to a temperature of medium heat.
  3. Include the sliced mushrooms in the mixture and continue to cook them for roughly five to seven minutes, or until they begin to brown and release their juices.
  4. Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional one to two minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  5. Combine the chopped parsley with the mixture, and then season it to taste with salt and pepper. Take the pan off the heat and put it aside.
  6. Put the chicken in the oven:
  7. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
  8. Salt, pepper, onion powder, and dried parsley powder should be applied on both sides of the chicken breasts before cooking
  9. Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast using a knife that is very sharp, taking care not to cut all the way through the chicken breast.
  10. You should stuff each pocket with the mushroom mixture that has been cooked, and then lay two pieces of mozzarella cheese inside each breast portion. If required, insert toothpicks to secure the item.
  11. A big pan that can be used in the oven should be heated over medium-high heat. The chicken breasts should be seared for two to three minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
  12. Formulate the Cream Sauce with Garlic and Parmesan:
  13. Olive oil and garlic that has been minced should be added to the same skillet. Continue to cook for about one minute, or until the aroma is detectable.
  14. Continue to simmer for one more minute after stirring in the Dijon mustard.
  15. Once the mixture has reached a simmer, pour in the half and half, and then turn the heat down to a low setting.
  16. After stirring in the grated Parmesan cheese, let the sauce to boil for about two to three minutes, or until it begins to thicken somewhat.
  17. Add salt and pepper to taste, and season with salt. Stir in the cornflour mixture and continue to boil for one more minute until the sauce has thickened, if you would like it to be more substantial.
  18. Prepare the parsley by stirring it in.
  19. Chicken should be baked.
  20. Place the chicken breasts that have been packed back into the pan, and then spread some of the sauce over the top of them.
  21. Put the pan into the oven that has been warmed and bake it for twenty to twenty-five minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbling out.

Provide:

The chicken breasts should be allowed to rest for a few minutes after the toothpicks have been removed from them.

The filled chicken should be served with the garlic Parmesan cream sauce spooned over the top, and more fresh parsley should be decorated according to personal preference.
