👩🍳 How to Make It

Remove from heat and mix in shredded cheese.
3️⃣ Stuff the Chicken

Spoon mushroom mixture into each chicken pocket.

Secure with toothpicks if needed to keep filling inside.

Heat olive oil and remaining butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
5️⃣ Finish Cooking

Reduce heat, cover skillet, and cook another 10–12 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internal temperature.
