Stuffing Chicken

  • Stuff the mushroom mixture into the chicken pockets and top with cheese.
  • Seal openings with toothpicks.

Searing Chicken

  • Wipe the skillet and heat oil over medium-high heat.
  • Sear each side of the chicken for about 1.5 minutes until golden.

Baking Chicken

  • Transfer skillet with chicken to the preheated oven.
  • Bake chicken for about 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 65°C/149°F.
