Expert Cooking Tips for Perfect Stuffed Chicken
Butterflying Technique: Cut chicken breasts carefully to create an even thickness - this ensures uniform cooking and easy stuffing.
Mushroom Preparation: Cook mushrooms until all moisture evaporates to prevent soggy filling that could make the chicken watery.
Cheese Selection: Use a combination of mozzarella for meltiness and Parmesan for sharp flavor depth in the stuffing.
Secure Properly: Use toothpicks to seal the chicken completely, preventing the filling from leaking during baking.
Temperature Check: Always use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F for food safety.
Resting Time: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking to allow juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness.
