Chicken breasts with mushroom stuffing

3 servings

60 minutes

Chicken breasts with mushroom filling are a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken fillet with the rich flavor of mushrooms and cheese. It is believed that such stuffed meat dishes emerged from the desire to add variety to traditional chicken cooking methods. In this recipe, the breast turns into a juicy and aromatic delicacy thanks to a filling of butter, herbs, and spices. The golden crispy crust after breading adds textural contrast to the tender meat. It is suitable for both festive tables and cozy dinners. The dish harmoniously pairs with light vegetable salads or potato sides, while subtle notes of garlic and mustard make it especially appetizing.
