Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. (10 minutes)

03

Step

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and thyme; continue cooking until mushrooms are tender and most liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Reduce heat to low. Incorporate softened cream cheese and salt, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Remove from heat. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Spoon the mushroom-cream cheese mixture generously onto the flattened chicken breasts. Carefully wrap the chicken around the filling, securing with toothpicks. Place stuffed chicken bundles seam-side up in a baking dish. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove and brush the tops with Dijon mustard, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Return to the oven and continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, approximately 15-20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part should read 165°F (74°C). (20 minutes)

08

Step

Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Remember to remove the toothpicks before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry sherry or white wine to the mushroom mixture while cooking.
If you don't have toothpicks, you can use kitchen twine to tie the chicken breasts closed.
Serve with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or cauliflower rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
