Delicious stuffed chicken breast filled with roasted peppers, mushrooms, and cheese, seared to golden perfection and served with a rich sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for sauce)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (for sauce)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for sauce)

Instructions

  1. Slice a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through. Season inside and outside with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano.
  2. In a pan, sauté mushrooms in a little olive oil until golden. Mix with roasted red peppers, mozzarella, cream cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  3. Fill each chicken breast generously with the mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Pour in chicken broth, add thyme and Italian seasoning. Simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken to the pan, spoon sauce over the top. Cover and cook on low heat for 10–15 minutes until fully cooked and juicy.
  7. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or fluffy rice to soak up the rich sauce.
  • Secure the filling well to prevent leaking. Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep juices locked in.
  • Use fresh herbs for a more aromatic finish.
  • For a lighter version, use light cream cheese or reduce cheese quantity.
  • For a vegan option, replace chicken with thick tofu or zucchini boats and use plant-based cheese alternatives.
