## Instructions

### 1. Prepare the mushroom stuffing

In a skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped mushrooms and cook until soft and browned, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

### 2. Prepare the chicken breasts

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.

### 3. Stuff the chicken

Fill each pocket with the mushroom mixture and shredded cheese. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

### 4. Cook the chicken

In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

### 5. Bake to finish

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

### 6. Garnish and serve

Remove toothpicks, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
