Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped mushrooms and garlic, sautéing until mushrooms are soft and liquid has evaporated (5–7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper, then let cool slightly.
Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese into the cooled mushroom mix.
Slice a pocket into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
Stuff each pocket with the mushroom-cheese mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sear chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until chicken is fully cooked and cheese is melty.
Rest chicken for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Substitute cremini mushrooms with white button or portobello if preferred.
Add a splash of white wine to the mushroom sauté for extra depth.
Great served with garlic mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad.
