-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).

Add mushrooms, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook 5–7 minutes until browned and liquid has evaporated.
-
In a bowl, mix the mushroom mixture with cream cheese and mozzarella until smooth.
-
Slice a pocket into each chicken breast and stuff with filling.
-
Place stuffed breasts in a greased baking dish and top with Parmesan cheese.
-
Bake 25–30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Add spinach to the filling for extra greens.
Substitute mozzarella with cheddar for a sharper flavor.
Mix in sun-dried tomatoes or bacon for a smoky twist.
Use toothpicks to secure filling if needed.
Works well with chicken thighs too—just adjust cooking time.
