Equipment

  • cast iron pan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 200 grams Button Mushrooms approx 10-12, thickly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon Italian Seasoning Blend
  • 3 pieces Chicken Breasts skinless, boneless
  • 2 cups Spinach Leaves roughly chopped (loosely packed)
  • ¾ cup Mozzarella grated
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat a tablespoon of oil in a cast iron pan and add mushrooms and garlic. Toss the mushrooms with the Italian seasoning blend and salt on high heat for 2-3 minutes till they are golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges. Remove in a bowl and set aside.
  • To stuff the chicken breasts, butterfly the chicken (or slice it in half without slicing it all the way through). Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides.
  • Open the chicken breast such that it looks like a butterfly. On one side, place a tablespoon or two of mushrooms, top with a handful of spinach leaves and sprinkle ¼ grated cheese. Fold the other side of the chicken breast on top and secure it in place with a toothpick.
  • Heat the remaining oil and butter in the same pan and place the chicken breasts. Start on high heat, then reduce to medium after a minute. Cook on each side for 6-7 minutes depending on the size. Let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.

Notes

The internal temperature of cooked chicken should read 165F/73C. Use a sharp paring knife to butterfly the chicken. Baste the chicken with pan juices to keep it moist.
