Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken breast (4 chicken breasts)
- 1 tbsp garlic parsley salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 3 tbsp sun dried tomatoes (finely chopped)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (freshly grated)
- 1/4 cup parmesan (freshly grated)
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion (quarter and sliced)
- 8 oz bella mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 tbsp all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup marsala cooking wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to preference)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling ingredients by patting the sun dried tomatoes dry and chopping them finely, then mince the garlic. Grate the cheeses and combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Mix the filling until well combined and divide it into four portions.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Use plastic wrap to cover the breasts and gently pound them to tenderize.
- Season the chicken on all sides with garlic parsley salt and paprika. Stuff each breast with one portion of the filling mixture.
- Heat one tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to the oven and bake at 350°F for 10-20 minutes until juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Cooking time may vary based on breast size and thickness.
- In a separate pan, sauté the onions for a few minutes, add the mushrooms, and cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are soft, around 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in one tablespoon of flour and cook until no white remains.
- Gradually whisk in the cooking wine and deglaze the pan. Add the broth and heavy cream, bringing it to a light boil. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes, and season to taste with salt.
- After baking, pour the sauce over the chicken and serve with your favorite side!
Notes
Feel free to customize the filling with additional herbs or veggies.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked properly.
