Ingredients

Scale

For the Stuffing:

  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

For the Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Stuffing

  • In a skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add sliced onions and sauté for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and caramelized.
  • Add sliced mushrooms and garlic powder to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and the moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the Swiss cheese and mix until melted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 3: Stuff the Chicken

  • Season the outside of the chicken breasts with paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Generously fill each chicken pocket with the caramelized onion and mushroom mixture.

Step 4: Bake the Chicken

  • Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top for added moisture and flavor.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and is no longer pink in the center.
