Notes

Make sure to pound the chicken breasts evenly for even cooking. Use a mix of mushrooms for added flavor, such as cremini or shiitake. For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken briefly in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs before stuffing. Experiment with different cheeses, like cheddar or gouda, for a unique taste.
