Stuffed Chicken Breast
Ingredients
- 6-8 Chicken breasts
- 1 large onion
- 1-2 packs of fresh mushrooms (depending on the amount of chicken breasts)
- 6-8 Tbs. mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated cheese
Instructions
Chop onion and mushrooms into small pieces and fry in olive oil until almost done.
In each breast, first make a large incision from one side then pull the two cut edges of the breast open and make another smaller incision starting from the opposite (still attached) side of the breast into the direction of the previously sliced side. The purpose is to make a pocket inside the breast that will hold the stuffing.
Stuff each breast with mushroom and onion mix
Cover each breast with approx. 1Tbs. mayo, rubbing the mayo in on the outside.
Place breasts tightly into a cooking pan or pot (that can go into the oven). If there is any liquid left over from cooking the mushrooms, pour it around the chicken breasts. If not, use a little water.
Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the breasts.
Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil before putting into the oven.
Preheat the oven to 400F. Cook approx. 20 min. or until done.
