CHEESY GARLIC STUFFED CHICKEN
Even picky eaters are going to love this stuffed chicken recipe. The combination of cheese is very savory and flavorful. There's just enough fresh garlic to add a pop of flavor but not be overpowering. Rolling the chicken in melted butter, then coating with bread crumbs, crisps up when baked, and helps to keep the chicken breasts...

Steps:
- 1. Butterfly fillet the chicken breasts and lay flat in order to stuff them. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBSAEHnFaO4)
- 2. Stuff inside with both cheese's on the breast.
- 3. Then add garlic.
- 4. Sprinkle with sweet basil before closing up and securing with toothpicks or short skewers. (Make sure you have secured the opening because the next step is to roll in butter and bread crumbs.)
- 5. Melt the butter in a flat dish with sides so you can still roll the chicken in it.
- 6. Then roll in bread crumbs.
- 7. Place them in a baking dish or pan.
- 8. Pour remaining butter, or melt a little more, over the chicken.
- 9. Bake at 350 degrees for about an hour.
- 10. Make sure to pull out all the toothpicks or skewers before serving. (I like to use the short skewers because they don't get in the way and they are easier to take out once the chicken is ready.)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°C or 400°F. Melt butter in a large (over 12-inch or 30 cm) oven proof pan or skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add in mushrooms, salt and pepper (to your tastes), and parsley. Cook while stirring occasionally until soft. Set aside and allow to cool while preparing your chicken. Pat breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt, pepper, onion powder and dried parsley. Rub each piece to evenly coat in seasoning. Horizontally slice a slit through the thickest part of each breast to form a pocket. Place 2 slices of mozzarella into each breast pocket. Divide the mushroom mixture into four equal portions and fill each breast with the mushroom mixture (leave the juices in the pan for later. If there are any left over mushrooms, don't worry. You'll use them later). Top the mushroom mixture with 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese per breast. Seal with two or three toothpicks near the opening to keep the mushrooms inside while cooking. Heat the same pan the mushrooms were in along with the pan juices (the garlic butter will start to brown and take on a 'nutty' flavour). Add the chicken and sear until golden. Flip and sear on the other side until golden. Cover pan and continue cooking in preheated oven for a further 20 minutes, or until completely cooked through the middle and no longer pink. Serve, with pan juices and any remaining mushrooms, on top of pasta, rice or steamed vegetables. (To make the optional cream sauce, transfer chicken to a warm plate, keeping all juices in the pan.) Sauce: Fry the garlic in the leftover pan juices until fragrant (about 1 minute). Reduce heat to low heat, and add the mustard and half and half (or cream). Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and add in any remaining mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to simmer until the parmesan cheese has melted slightly. (If the sauce is too runny for your liking, add the cornstarch/water mixture into the centre of the pan and mix through fast to combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately). Season with a little salt and pepper to your taste. Add in the parsley and the chicken back into the pan to serve
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts. For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts are best. Make sure they are of a uniform thickness so that they cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to make the pocket in the chicken breasts. This will help to prevent the chicken from tearing.
- Don't overstuff the chicken breasts. Otherwise, they will be difficult to close and the filling may leak out during cooking.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to secure the chicken breasts closed. This will help to keep the filling inside and prevent the chicken from falling apart.
- Cook the chicken breasts at a high temperature. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Let the chicken breasts rest before slicing. This will help to keep the juices inside and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
- Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Cheesy garlic stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new chicken recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
