  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.

  4. Transfer the cooked mushroom mixture to a bowl and stir in cream cheese and mozzarella until combined.
  5. Create pockets in the chicken breasts and fill with the creamy mushroom mixture. Secure with toothpicks, if necessary.

  7. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Let chicken rest before cutting to retain juices. Prepare chicken one day ahead and refrigerate.
