Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 8 ounces brown mushrooms sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts skinless and boneless
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • ground pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese

Creamy Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 large cloves garlic minced or finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Cooking Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms.
  • Sauté stirring occasionally until mushrooms are tender. Lightly season with Kosher salt and ground pepper and set aside in a bowl together with all the juices.
  • Cut a lengthwise pocket into each chicken breast. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, onion powder, and Italian seasoning on both sides and into the pocket.
  • Stuff the pockets with mozzarella cheese and sautéed mushrooms, then seal with a toothpick. It's ok if you have any leftover mushrooms, we'll add them later on to the sauce.
  • Heat the pan again and add in the remaining oil. Add chicken and sear until golden on both sides, about 6-8 minutes in total. Set aside on a plate.
  • To the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook over medium heat for no longer than 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  • Add in the Dijon mustard, gluten-free flour, and whisk for a bit. Pour the almond milk little by little, whisking after each addition to incorporate and form a thick sauce.
  • Once all the milk is added and there are no visible lumps, stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with a pinch of Kosher salt and ground pepper. If you have any remaining sautéed mushrooms and juices, add them to your sauce.
  • Return the chicken to the pan and spoon the sauce over.
  • Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temp shows 165F.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes

Use any other oil if needed like avocado or grapeseed oil. You may use another white cheese in place of mozzarella, like provolone. Gluten-free flour can be replaced with any other flour. Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for optimal flavor. Cook over medium heat so the chicken cooks evenly and isn't too dry and rubbery. You may use another veggie in place of mushrooms.
