Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts (chicken supreme cut) (900 g,)
  • 1 cup of mushrooms, drained solids, canned, sliced (about 160 g.)
  • 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, cut into large chunks (like a finger) (about 110 g.)
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For optional sauce:
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup of mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vinegar (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Make a horizontal incision along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through. Season the inside and outside of each breast with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Stuff each chicken breast pocket with sliced mushrooms and mozzarella cheese chunks, distributing them evenly.
  • Secure the openings of the chicken breasts with toothpicks to prevent the filling from falling out during cooking.
  • Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish. If desired, pour the optional sauce ingredients (chicken broth, sliced mushrooms, cornstarch dissolved in water, salt, pepper, and vinegar) around the chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Once cooked, remove the toothpicks from the chicken breasts and discard.
  • Serve the stuffed chicken breasts hot, accompanied by the optional sauce if desired.
