  • Scoop the stuffing into each chicken breast, filling them up to your heart's desire.
  • If you have them, use toothpicks to secure the filling into the chicken breasts (no worries if you don't have them).
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are completely cooked through.
  • Serve with your choice of sides and enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground paprika
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium onions, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ (8 ounce) cans sliced mushrooms, drained and chopped
salt to taste
2 tablespoons dry white wine
½ teaspoon dried parsley, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs, or as needed
5 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking tray with foil. Mix garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika together in a small bowl.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute for 1 minute.
  • Set aside 1/3 of the mushrooms for garnish; add remaining mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt. Saute until soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, scraping any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a spoon. Add parsley and pepper, then mix in just enough bread crumbs to bind.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Make sure the spinach is wilted: Before you add the spinach to the chicken breasts, make sure it is wilted. This will help to remove excess moisture from the spinach and prevent the chicken breasts from becoming soggy.
  • Season the chicken breasts well: Be sure to season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Serve the chicken breasts immediately: Chicken breasts are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are juicy and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Chicken breasts stuffed with mushrooms and spinach is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
